Devotti Single Hander

Mine arrived last week, with a light blue deck as an hommage to the great
Ben Ainslie (his Finn has the same deck colour). Unfortunately, the arrival of
the D-One matched the end of my summer holidays, so I'm not able to sail
it except in Saturdays...

Yesterday we had more than 30 kts at the club

What I need now is a good name and a logo, and possibily a rigging manual
(shame to Luca ).

The most beautiful piece of gear I ever owned. An Englishman passing near
shouted: "it's a war machine!".

Check out these videos - easy to rig and easy to sail

Originally posted by Rockhopper it will be good to see the boat have a public test day then i think people can decide if they like it or not for me it looks ok i would think that is a nice boat to sail

Hi Rockhopper, You may have missed my post yesterday so here is the relevant content:

 

‘Next week the D-One can be seen and tested during Chichester Harbour Federation Week and we will be publishing further test days in a couple of weeks (hopefully including Datchet or QM, and Rutland).  Anyone who wants to try one can email me at rodney@suntouched,co.uk.  If Fed week doesn't work then we can arrange demos at other times by prior arrangement.’

 

Whilst I am at it I can elaborate on next week’s test opportunities during Fed week (Hayling Island).  We can organise test sailing from Monday 10^th August – Thursday 14^th August.  Anyone interested should contact me for details and arrange a time to be sure to get a sail.

 

We have held a number of UK test days to date only to have half of them blown off by gales so will program such events in future over a few days, where possible, to improve the chances of getting the right weather for these activities.

 

We are now adding a few test days in Weymouth, mid September, dates to be published soon.  If anyone would like to test the boat at their own sailing club we can arrange this, subject to the numbers interested and facilities available; please contact me for more details.

 

We will be mailing all of those who are interested with updates on the D-One and also more test/demo days.  Those interested should get onto our mailing list by just dropping us an email.
