Impressive Mr P
I am researching suppliers who also do the Sails and rigs and I think it could be what I need
If I start with the basic yacht and obtain the extra rigs as I need them.
If only there was a 75 cm version

@Ned,
I note you are in the UK; there are UK suppliers for a range of spare parts for the Dragon Force 65. This includes rig kits for A B and C size sails. They are also supplying compliant sails in all three sizes. There is also a shorter keel available for shallow venues.
For other readers nearer me (Aussie), there are now some parts available from the Australian supplier as well, but currently does not include sails or B and C rig kits...
The ready-to-sail nature of the DF65 and the established class rules make it a great way to get people into (competitive) sailing who may have difficulty building and/or with limited funds
I note your comments re looking for something a little larger; certainly there is some appeal in larger boats, but transport can become an issue. I have a number of boats up to one metre and can transport them fully rigged in my Subaru wagon. I also have a larger one that needs rigging onsite.
I like the DF65 because you can just grab it and go sailing. It only weighs about 1300 grams and will fit in just about any car fully rigged. It will also de-rig easily when it is set up correctly, and it re-rigs with all adjustments intact in a couple of minutes. I like it...
