DZero will be bringing a whole host of dinghies to the RYA Dinghy Show (03-04 March, Alexandra Palace, London) including the Devoti Sailing Optimist and D-Zero sailing dinghies. They will also be joined on the stand (G6) by members of the D-Zero Class Association, as well as offering some fantastic show promotions.

The D-Zero is a no-compromise single hander, from the unique no-gunwale Dan Holman design to the high specification of North Sails Kevlar laminate sail, matched to the fantastic Compotech carbon-fibre spars plus high quality Harken blocks & cleats throughout. "We will be showcasing various versions of the D-Zero at the show, including the D-Zero 6.9m2 and the 8.1m2 sail options, as well as the liftable and cassette rudder options. While the Optimist will be rigged with a North Sails X-Cut racing sail, and both dinghies will show the very high quality finishes to achieve high performance sailing." commented David Valentine from DZero.

Alongside the dinghies on display at the show, the UK dealer DZero are offering two great promotions on the D-Zero dinghy. Place a deposit on a new D-Zero at the show and a FREE day's training at a location near you from either; DZero's Team Rider and former British Sailing Team Finn sailor, Peter McCoy, or from the 2017 National D-Zero Champion George Cousins.

If you're not ready to buy but want to know more about the D-Zero, enter your name in the draw and you could be the lucky winner of a FREE demonstration sail and day's training from the very same high level sailors!

"We believe that these great show promotions will enable those sailors who are starting in the D-Zero or wish to join the Class to gain the maximum benefit from their first few days sailing and significantly uplift their performance," commented UK Dealer David Valentine.

For Optimist sailors visiting the stand it will be the perfect chance to view the Devoti build Optimist, which has many top European results already, and discuss the level of build as each one can be tailored to any sailor.

Throughout the weekend, members of the D-Zero Class Association will also be on hand to talk about the 2018 race programme, social events and demonstrations, as well as why they love the D-Zero. The Class will also be running a short talk about the events, training and why the class is amazing! Head to the Class Association Stand, located in under the organ loft in the Great Hall at 1600hrs on Sunday 04 March.
