Two more Devoti D-Zeros have recently shipped to Minorca Sailing, the sailing holiday specialists in Menorca.

This brings the D-Zero fleet there up to three boats so to try the D-Zero or get some training in in warmer climes it could be worth booking a holiday with them.

If you cannot make it to Menorca and want to test sail a D-Zero closer to home then contact info@suntouched.co.uk.

Boat Bits collect their first D-Zero consignment

Suntouched Sailboats are pleased to announce the appointment of Boat Bits of Huddersfield as their D-Zero agent for the North of England.

Rodney Cobb of Suntouched Sailboats said ‘We are impressed by the knowledge and experience at Boat Bits and are pleased that they will be supporting the D-Zero in the North. It’s great that we can now, through Boat Bits, provide regional access to the D-Zero for new fleet development and support for the current fleets in the region.”

Ben Ratcliffe of Boat Bits said “I am excited by the opportunity to be able to offer the D-Zero in our region and have already a significant number of people lining up for trial sails. I am grateful to be involved with the D-Zero as it’s an exciting boat which seems to be gathering a significant following in the UK. It’s fantastic that the D-Zero, after less than 2 years from its introduction, managed to get more race entries in the GJW Direct SailJuice Winter Series than any other class! For me that makes it a winner in terms of enthusiasm from the owners and I am confident that the class will go from strength to strength.’

Jon Cowper and Graham Cox @ Hunts SC

On the 26th September 2015 Hunts Sailing Club will welcome the D-Zero class for for the inaugural Hunts SC D-Zero open meeting. The class is sharing the day with the Solo class so this is likely to be a busy day on the water. Speaking to people in the class, with 3 Hunts based boats and an active fleet locally at Grafham Water we are expecting entries into double figures.

Suntouched Sailboats are also bringing along their demo fleet which will be available throughout the day for anyone wishing to give the boat a try. If you want to book a demo (and to ensure you are not disappointed) please contact Paul Jefferies on 07976 354567 or by email to webmaster@d-zerosailing.org.

There will be a briefing at 10:30 with the first race will be at 11:00am. Then a break for lunch followed by 2 more races (usually back to back). 2 races will count for your overall score.

Entry fee for the open meeting is £8/boat.

 The D-Zero has now made it about as far from it’s place of birth as possible. Recently a demo fleet arrived in Australia. If you know anyone who is down under who is champing at the bit to give the D-Zero a try then get them to contact Devoti Australia by either surfing on over to http://www.devotisailing.com.au/ or by giving Danny a call on 0412 180 596 (Australian phone number).

In Demo

Saturday 18th October saw the D-Zero Demo tour stop at Burghfield SC. Not much needs to be said as the video above indicates that people had a lot of fun in varying winds.

Rodney even agreed to leave a boat there for a prospective purchaser to try out in club racing the following day, let us hope he has his chequebook ready and that others there were as impressed as he was.
