A report from the first day of the DF65 DragonForce 2023 UK National Championships held by Keighley & District MES at Weecher Resrvoir in July of 2023.
The DF65 or "DragonForce" model yacht is the a popular one design model racing yacht with an active racing circuit in the UK. Popular in local clubs, this boat provides an ideal introduction to Model Yacht Racing and can be raced all the way up to international Level
More details of the DF65 or DragonForce can be found by checking out some of our other videos which go into some detail but basically the boat is a mass produced, off the shelf model yacht that is raced as a one design class, all boats are technically the same and available at low cost, which provides close and competitive racing.
Radio Sailing (Model yacht racing) is a competitive form of yacht racing run along similar lines to dinghy racing and keelboat racing.

Well done, thank you for going to a lot of effort to make this so we can at least watch! Your narration is very good by the way, love the accent, and by the way it's still clear. Great job! (Perhaps subtitles would help if there's background wind or other noise?)

Thank you for making this. I know how much work it takes. Sadly I couldn't hear half of what you were saying because of the distracting and pointless music.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. As we are finding out, sound is possibly the most difficult aspect of video making. Unfortunately most of the video footage we take contains unwanted sounds, mainly deafening wind noise but often conversations, screaming children, interested bystanders and occasionally sailors arguing. For instance the first distant overview shots of the lake in this video contain loud and overbearing road noise as it was taken next to a busy road. Hence we use the free music supplied by KZfaq (can’t afford the paid stuff) to fill in the lack of sound it also helps with the continuity of the video clips. I do check volume levels of voice to music on two systems prior to publishing, one is my HD PC with standard sound card and standard speakers the other is a 4k TV with a high quality soundbar. I am aware that all sound systems are different and different levels can apply in different systems, but there is not a lot we can do about that on our budget (£0) . It is generally possible to toggle the auto generated subtitles button on the video if there is a difficulty understanding our Yorkshire accent.

@@modelyachtracinguk Please don't take it negatively. I watched it all - and really enjoyed it. Its a huge amount of work, filming and editing, and commentating and I'm grateful - but for me, the music takes away rather than adding anything.
