There is a lot to be said for the Aero, it’s a great boat .  I have raced one a few times but I really don’t like it going up wind so it’s not for me plus post lock down weight I am too heavy for the 7  LOL

Hmm, think I now prefer the Aero 7 and its 1065, 1071 Great Lakes. and watching our man just casually wheeling it up the beach whilst we all wait our turn for the winch. A few of septegenarians looking at it in an elephants graveyard fashion..

I reckon the great lakes handicap( at this stage only a guess  Smile) is not a long way out for open inland water.
G.r.f, I will lay you a small bet, that after a year of returns from puddle sailors like me, the official r.y.a number will settle out somewhere between 1020/1040. 

GRF . The yardstick is now 1029 .One of the reasons I now own one . Please pay me my money  LOL

Lucky you, had I been in a similar state this weekend past you wouldn't be getting it, so you can thank me and my cowardice in confronting my SWMBO..

Well if it comes off and I am the proud owner of a D-Zero at the weekend I shall buy you a pint of babycham if we are ever in the same neck of the woods  Wink

As it is I might have a pass to sail on the 26th or 27th so I may pop over regardless (I will email you once I have permission).


Paul, Would you manage to get permission if we are able to hand over your D-Zero on Saturday? No promises but I will see what I can do       I'll email you later in the week either way!

I was going to cheekily suggest that but if you could do that it would be awesome  Smile.
SWMBO has already said yes I would just need to sort out some roof bars or borrow a friend with a road base on saturday....


Jeffers, sent you a pm re your D-Zero

I can confirm that the D-Zeros will return to Grafham Water SC for test sailing on 26th, 27th and 30th July. We are pleased to announce that, this time, the event is also open to non-members. If you are not a member of GWSC please contact me to book for a D-Zero test sail at Grafham.
