Devotti Single Hander

Originally posted by turnturtle I don't think I'm being narrow-minded at all, in fact very open-minded if you re-read the thread properly... but I am being realistic Graeme; the boat is claiming to be 'what is missing from the popular classes today'... given the price, the exotic materials, the questionable aesthetics and the fact that there are other manufacturers in the market with more cost effective offerings with a more visually pleasing look; I find it hard to swallow the blatant marketing bullsh*t that emulates from the stooges who have waded in of late.

...and the RS100 thread isn't marketing as well.........come on grow up !! Let folk have their say, let's see how the classes look in 5 or 6 years time. The DS will be on the market/production before the RS I guess so could well claim to fill that gap for now.

well i would like to see the pair of them the ds one and the rs 100 when they are finished to go head to head in a yachtsandyachting test can i bring my vareo along too with the rs 100 mast fitted i dont think it would be too far behind the pair of them

Weighs the same as a Volvo? As ugly as one??

I take it that's the taxable income you actually declare to the government and the rest of your income comes from running one of those family protection rackets. Or how else did you afford this piece of sailing erotica?
