The club primarily sails two classes of boats, the 10 Raters and the IOM International One Metre classes. However, they also welcome other radio yachts to participate in their events. Recently, they have introduced the Dragon Flite 95 class, which has gained popularity among members. These boats are lightweight, weighing only 2 kg, and are great for newcomers to the hobby.
