that's quite a nice looking lead-mine, can't say the D-One looks do it for me personally at dinghy proportions, but scale them up......

Not from all angles, agreed. But then you sail one...

The quant 28 is hugh welbourn's DSS keelboat.  It does have a keel but only a very light one.  Most of the stability is provided by the DSS foil.  Works great when you're going fast but I imagine in gusty conditions or big chop it gets a bit confused and dumps you in from time to time.  

I would hate to see what happens when you do broach and lose speed, getting it back up would be a pig I imagine!

I popped down to Lymington during the 'present unwrapping' - I really wanted to see how the two-section mast slots together. I've always been curious as to how a two-piece mast with track works and I have to admit I liked it. It's just like a windsurfer mast, but with a key pin to align the top and bottom section tracks.

They've also borrowed the quick release nuts from bicycle wheels and seats for the rack fastners and the boom gooseneck - these do make rigging the boat very quick.
