So Whatever happened to..

Enjoyed watching Aeros at Bowmoor last weekend, flying across the water, but the Lasers were doing exactly the same, with a very large price difference Aero will never be mainstream and will fade away, £8000 for a used Aero ? More than a new Laser.

I really want to disagree Craigglo... but...

I've just spent the day racing in a borrowed D Zero, and as a boat tester for Yachting Life, have tried most of the other boats mentioned. The D Zero is a lovely little boat, very easy to get used to, feels very light on the water, nice rig and controls, very comfortable to sit out. Self drains very well. If you pop the bow in downwind, it comes back up without going down the mine. Very well behaved boat. Good class racing where I sailed it (Largs). Winds were generally up to 12 mph or so. Within the handicap fleet there was also a Hadron H2, and in today's conditions, it was the D Zero which prevailed. I've tested the H2 in windier conditions, and enjoyed it too. The D Z now has a new dealer, which may help it gain more sales. It's a very good product, and at the moment there are some available at very attractive prices, so I will probably succumb to its charms, and sail it as a second boat when not sailing my Osprey.

None of the single handers today will displace Laser, only a rotomould that performs has well as more favoured materials with rotomould cheaper production costs will do it.
