 No offence to RS, but any Devoti boat is going to be a somewhat higher quality product. Not necessarily a a better design, but more carefully finished. Also, I believe the D1 is epoxy versus vinylester- there is a price (and performance) difference there. Ultimately, the RS is to a certain extent built to a tighter price spec than the D-one. | |||

 I'm sure you'd all be welcome at Carsington, at the 'Billy no mates' meeting -usually end of April. Ditto welcome back Rodney and Rick. (Looks like Sailingsanta really does exist!)  | |||
