🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 Wishing all our friends and customers, old and new, a very Merry Christmas – and if you know Nigel well then you will know that it can be very merry😍 The sail loft will be closed from Friday 17th December 2021 and re opening on the 5th January 2022 . Of course, you can still order your sails and accessories through the online shop. Merry Christmas from Sue, Nigel and Ness 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

So, as it is just one month until the best day of the year, we can no longer guarantee that orders from abroad will make it to you in time to open on Christmas morning. Of course, you can still order your sails and accessories but they will now be delivered in January. UK sails orders can still be made in time for the DF classes but all other classes will be January now.

Fantastic end to the TT series with a lovely and warm welcome from West Lancs MYC in Southport. The sun came out and the wind blew – well just a little bit and from a variety of different directions.

Get your Christmas orders in! As you know, we make all our products to order therefore planning is needed to get orders out around the world in order that you can open them on Christmas morning. Below are the last posting dates so get in now to avoid a January delivery…..

Thank you to Two Islands club who welcomed us all this weekend. It takes a lot of effort to run an event and they did a great job. Follow the link to explore the photos.

Well done to all the skippers with Catsails this last weekend but special congratulations go to Craig Richards on his win. What a nail biting conclusion to a very special event raced in all kinds of weather and wind conditions. Well done to the team at Fleetwood for running the event so brilliantly in very trying conditions. As we are off on our holidays now, I will do my best to get the pictures out for you all as soon as I can. Will post the link as soon as available Full race report will come on the DF Racing site for all the grisly details!

A great weekend of sailing and social in the ever hospitable Yorkshire moors. Not too much wind, a bit of rain but also lots of sun was our lot for the weekend. Thanks to all at Keighley. Congratulations to Graham Elliot on his win.

Sunshine but little wind was the order of the weekend but the welcome was very warm and the fun was plentiful – another fantastic event. Thanks to all at Poole for making us all so welcome.

What a fantastic weekend of sailing, and socialising, we had. It was so good to see many of our friends again, and of course, to be back in sunny Fleetwood. We had sun and wind for the weekend and many races, with many, many general recalls – 59 I think I heard!
