Devotti Single Hander

Originally posted by Rockhopper i heard the price was 15,000 euros so with the exchange rate it will be very expensive

That'd make it about £13500 and I venture to suggest that they will not sell a single one into the UK.

Did anyone like the look of it????

i do from the photos but i couldnt make the show!!

I also thought it looked good, but my overall impression was of the size of the thing!  Are there really enough big men out there who will spend that sort of money to own such a boat and thus create enough of a racing circuit?  I suspect Alistair is right: terminally niche.

The phantom is on a roll right now (probably a sausage roll ) and has to be much, much easier to transport and set up, as well as being considerably more affordable.

I would if I could afford to! I'd have undercover storage with a Dragon, a Fairey Finn, a 505, a 22 sq metre, an 18' Jollyboat and anything else that took my fancy, with a roof high enough to rig up in undercover, and a slip leading down to perfect sailing water.

As it is, I sail a Firefly, which is as pretty as any of the above, but I can't claim it as the sole reason. And I sail some boats because they were cheap, not pretty, and happen to be about what is needed at the time.
