Hello again, I hope you are all keeping well. We’ve been quite busy over the last month with some large trade orders taking our time up as well as a varied selection of general orders for all our products heading all over the world.

Our RC Laser stock has been worked through and will be replenished late next week with another order. I’m pleased to report that our suppliers have realised that the RC Laser hull is indeed a spare part and I have ordered a couple for stock so you can rehull your boat is you need to without buying a whole new boat. General RC Laser stock is good, we’ve got sails in stock and more on the way, Parts are all good too, I misjudged the popularity of the blue bags so have ordered some more of those too.

Our DF Sails continue to be popular and are heading all around the world to new skippers and also skippers who have supported our brand for some time. We have decided to discontinue our Stealth Sails for DF65. There hasn’t been the uptake that we expected when we relaunched them six months ago and whenever people have ordered them we always seem to be out of stock of the correct colour. The price of importing the material has made the sails more and more expensive so we’ve sadly decided to drop them from our lineup. Our IOM sail offering is growing in popularity and we’ve seen a marked increase in skippers trying our sails. Feedback seems to be positive.

Accessories are perhaps where we lack a little, our current machinist is currently unwell and we are hoping to engage a replacement this week which will hopefully see us back in production with all that we need.

Other than toy boat stuff it’s that time of year where the big boatyard comes back to life so if there is a short delay in us getting your order away then that’s probably the reason why. Our current lead times are good with DF sails shipping within a week or less, IOM sails are between one and two weeks with stickers, accessories and RC Laser parts usually shipped within 24 – 48 hours. RC Laser boat packages are built to order and are usually a week or so lead time.

Next week we move to five days a week so we’ll be manufacturing but not shipping on Fridays from now on. Remember that the shop is open 247 to take your order and if you need something that you don’t see on the shop please just get in touch and we’ll do our best to help.

Our plain vanilla year continues with no drama at all just yet and certainly nothing on the scale of last year!
