The 2015 D-One GBR travellers series is being supported by North Sails One Design Europe and Suntouched Sailboats, with the kind permission of Devoti Sailing:
- they have provided a New Black Gennaker to be awarded by a race-entry based raffle drawn after the last event of the year
- this scheme means that everybody who starts a race in the travellers series has a chance of winning this fantastic £600 prize! The more races you enter the greater the chance of winning!
The full competition rules are available on the association website and to register for the prize D-One owners should email with their mobile phone number and sail number before their first event.
This year's travellers series visits some great venues:
- 9/10 May, a trip to the English Riviera for the POSH regatta at Paignton
- 23/25 May, the awesome SailFest at Calshot
- 13/14 June, a great work-up for the nationals at Grafham
- 18/21 June, Christchurch for the Nationals hosted by Highcliffe SC
- 18/19 July, Lymington Regatta and the home of a strong D-One fleet
- 26/27 September, we go 'abroad' to a new event at Gurnard on the Isle of Wight
- 10/11 Oct the final showdown at the iconic Queen Mary SC for the inlands
The D-One class nominates SailFest and Nationals for qualifying its two entries to the Southampton Boat Show "Battle of the Classes" pursuit race on 13th September. Bring-it-on!
With the UK D-One fleet increasing, the travellers series is the perfect place to meet D-One owners, share ideas and enjoy great racing combined with this years two big European events: the Gold Cup at Travemünde in July and the European Championships at Riva del Garda in September..... it's looking like a classic season.
