D-Zero

FWIW i also agree about the speedpuc, go pro, whatever it is mount thing on the Aero. Great for the first few weeks of owning a go-pro/speed puc.  But if your anything like me you soon get sick of Go pro videos (actually  literally sick)  you also soon understand that none of your friends..Sailors or non-sailors are interested. (Hey maybe thats just me so appreciate that a company like RS will of done the market research and it must be 'Wanted') ot only that but what happens when the technology becomes obsolete?  Can you change brackets for the latest bit of kit?  Garmin now make a universal qr twist bracket for their cycling GPS so its all inter changeable.  Are dinghy suppliers there yet???

Bizarre comment, have you been reading this or another thread. Comments have been universally positive as far as I can see. Comments about a split tail to go out to the cleats is hardly negative, just makes getting a quick purchase a bit easier.

I agree Rupert.  But my favourite set up for ease of use is the Phantom (like Gordon just said) the cleats are all mounted behind the mast, you also pull the rope primary line from about a metre behind the cleat so the angle is less critical (looks similar to the Zero) Whilst i had always thought side deck cleats to be superior, i just don't think they are.  I often find i am sat on them, or if not too close to get a good mechanical advantage, in classes where continuous lines are either outlawed or you are not able to splice the lines together you find you run out of control line, or even worse the other side is not cleated in.  The more and more i think about it the more i believe in the KISS theory.
