Devotti Single Hander

top mast sealed , external halyard, easier to right after capsize, you offer
me the opportunity to have you enjoy the beatiful sail shape resulting from
mast sail combination.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxI1YsslmAY

Did anyone else watch that film clip, screaming at your computer "STOP
LETTING THE F'ING KITE FLAP!!!"

Originally posted by G.R.F. Folks.. You don't come on to a reader forum, pimp all that free advertising and expect a soft ride, that is not the way it works.. Especially when there are deep suspicions that some of that written script is benefitting the authors, wether it be by cheap deals or just plain old fashioned commercial gain. I know all this because its part of my commercial world, they're lucky this is a family friendly forum or there would be all kinds of unpleasant similarities posted and associated with this tub. Why? Because it amuses me, and I don't like boats that discriminate against my size or my sailing area and this is an ugly lake sailing lard boys ride..

 

Ok to put a link to your website as a footer to your posts though is it?

"Sigh" I thought all that nonsence was put to bed.

There are far more discriminatory boat designs out there, that's just silly.

I seriously doubt that designers sit down with a view to really upset a load of people who their boat would be unsuitable for.

My point is only that I can't see your point!

i have been pretty active on this forum recently because after properly
investigating i came to the conclusion that this battle of the
aestethics.....is just orchestrated .devotisailing will not follow this route,
we are passionate about the sport, and prefer trying to do our job the
best we can, even in france and the states forums where artificially
poisoned with the same arguments....and it has been well done.leaving
unfair marks.though the reality of the boats sailing is sweeping all away,
see pics on our website.fact is that andy rice was one of the six jurno that
tested the boat, and i invite you to reread entirely his test that we have on
our website finishing his article with the worlds : when it sails it certanly
looks the part and sails the part!!!!!! www.devoti-one.com,he liked the
boat a lot to the point that he came and sailed our first regatta , from
those journalists four expressed the interest in buying the boat,or race it,
biggest compliment i could ever expect, we do not spend a lot of money
in pubblicity being a small passionate boatbuilding company, one of the
journalist manon borsi is a lady that sailed europe.i invite you to go and
see her test.it is a real pity that instead of broadening the base of the
sport, this type of battles just tend to schrink it and to reduce the appeal
of the sport. i have already seen all this before with the musto skiff..even
at that time with tim tavinor we where innovating..though this time being
the d one a more sofisticated and expensive boat there sould be room
enough for all other boats that will follow in the market. one last
remark, up to now not even one d one sailor has complained about the
boat , to the contrary they are all suprhappy and approximate average
weight of the sailors is about 80 kg,i will spare the reprint of all the email
i have.but as i have said before tanti nemici tanto onore

Merc have made some pretty damn ugly cars to my eyes 

Doesn't mean I wouldn't want one if I had the cash (or was given one)...
