DFTT UK results Day 1 & 2

Congratulations to the winners from the weekend Craig Richards and Nigel Barrow- wow and both sailing with Catsails. We had a great weekend at West Lancs YC for the first TT of the year – and huge thanks to the club for hosting us. As you can see there was a good turn out and many of these skippers will follow the circuit around the UK this year. Catsails were being sported across the fleets and if you wish to get in the groove then follow here….Catsails

Welcome to 2026!

The weather in the UK reminds me of this trip to West Lancs Y C! The Sail loft is open for the new year and we look forward to another busy year.

The rescue boat had to be used to break up the ice on the seawater lake for the racing to be able to start.

We are moving our components to a new webshop

Earlier this summer we made a soft-launch of our range of rig components and other hardware on www.catsails.co.uk while we geared ourselves up for a full launch, and here we are today with the launch of our Cat Components web shop.

The popularity of our range of products over these last few month far exceeded our expectations and we would like to thank all those of you who have already purchased our products and give us such wonderful feedback.

We started off with sail marking stencils for the DF and IOM classes and while we enhanced those, we started developing rig components for the IOM class.

Thanks to a number of very supportive field testers we were able to refine and improve the products and today we are proud to produce a wide range of products for the radio sailing community.

In this very competitive market place we wanted to fill a gap that has opened up for competitively priced self-produced components that meet the needs of radio sailors around the world.  To date our products have found their way to all corners of the UK as well as the USA, Australia, Sweden, Japan, New Zealand, Canada, Eire and France.

Our product range consists mainly of items that are 3D printed, thus keeping the production times and costs down, allowing us to pass those efficiencies over to you.

Now that we are fully established with our separate web shop for our components and other radio sailing accessories we will remove the product range from the  Catsails webshop and use that to focus on the sails and accessories like it always has, and use Cat Components for this new range of components and accessories.

Thank you to all of you that have already purchased our products, those of you who have and continue to test our products in the real world, and all of you who have taken the time to read this message.

We look forward to continuing to supply our components this you through Catsails and Cat Components.

Cat Components is also on Facebook, please subscribe and follow at www.facebook.com/catcomponentssocial
