JOYSWAY DRAGON FORCE 65 V8 VERSION RTR SAILING YACHT

The Joysway Dragon Force 65 V8 RTR Sailing Yacht (JY8815V8) brings the latest Version 8 refinements to the acclaimed DF65 platform. Designed to elevate quality and precision without compromising the competitiveness of earlier versions, the V8 pairs a painted blow‑moulded ABS hull with carbon fibre spars and 50 micron Mylar racing sails for crisp, responsive handling. With a Flysky i6 radio system and the new 2025 sail winch servo included, it offers accurate sail control and race‑winning capability straight out of the box. Just add batteries for the transmitter to get sailing.
