Looks ae highly subjective though... See enough of them around and it wll seem perfectly normal and most likely in no way ugly... It happens time and time again in any sphere of design: check out the history of car shapes...

could not get pic to move across from an earlier post to show the
"interesting" bend characteristic. I must assume that this is not an issue. But
it is there if you look.

What a plum!  The only reason the D-one gets bad press is the way you guys back handidly sl*g off the 100, which in my limited view will be a more successful in the UK market. 

Do us both a favour and look back on the postings.  You will find that I have not criticised any other manufacturers.  We are the UK dealers for the D-One and the only people who have posted here with some involvement are Luca, Richard Stenhouse and myself.  All other postings are independent and outside our control.  I must say that I cringe at some of the things they have to say but I guess they get emotive due to their enthusiasm for the D-One.

I am confident that the D-One will stand on it's merits and will gain strong support in the UK. 

As always your input is welcome!

Don’t miss the Burghfield SC over weekend of 19th / 20th September for testing the D-One – email me at rodney@suntouched.co.uk

Do us both a favour and read my post again! Its having a pop at the Italioan guy that seems to turn everything into an arguement.  I suggest you PM or e-mail them as they are not doing your new class any favours on here!

Thanks for your support mate!  I can't control idiots any more than you can the ones from the UK!

Rodney i don't mean to sound like I'm having a go but you haven't read my Post again.  I have just mentioned that the Italian guys posting on here seems to do the class (the class you are distributor for) No help whatsoever, i would in your situation ask them via the PM function on this forum to kindly stop raising to the bait!  After seeing a devotti Finn at my club regatta today i have to admit i am impressed with the build quality and the general overall appearance of the boat and i hope the finished D-0ne matches up.  The two only negative things i can see that will limit its success are its looks and price

Hey Rodney!  Happy Birthday:-)

Thanks for the generous invites for a test sail. 

I would love to come down on 18/19th but can't for family reasons (actually going to see Coldplay and friends in London - been booked for some time).  Like Doug H, I will try to fix up a date for a sail by e-mail later

have a good one!

Thanks for all the replies Rodney.

I saw the D-One out at Hayling mid august. I didn't get a close up look but
it was good to see one in person rather than just pics and vids. After seeing
it out I'm now more intrigued to see how it really feels on the water. I'm
pretty busy for the next month or so but will PM you when I'm freed up to
see If I can come for a test sail in the cold cold winter.
