How are you benchmarking the price?

I'd say the D-one looks reasonable value ... if you look at it compared to some products of inferior manufacture and of a similar price ... or another similar quality single hander ...

Plus of course you have to look at the prospective resale value.

People often focus too much on the entry price and not the total cost of ownership ...

If it's priced like d-one then it's missed the opportunity...

it's not called rail meat for nothing.... at least he's got a nutrigrain bar and some tainted-water coffee to look forward to in the post-race team talk.

Something to do while acting as a sack of spuds, I suppose.

I think you are ready for a keelboat  Wink


I've already got one!



Because hiking a keelboat is so much more comfortable!? LOL

Best thing as always is to try, in this instance an Icon and make your own mind up. 

Invite us to your club and we would love to join in one of your handicap/pursuit  races as well... come and see us at the Dinghy Show or get in direct contact.
