Love the low freeboard, and the way the topside flair seems to generate a lot of reserve stability - all the more useable for the lack of draggy gunwale lips.

Very clean planing on the short clip we saw.  Got to be substantially quicker than a Laser at that point.

That EPS sailor must have thought that the D-Zero sail was see-through for the wind as well.  Can't say I noticed the traveller on the 0 boat, but there were better things to be looking at, as clearly the photographer also thought...

I'm all about the crayons. Yep I could have a think about that once I've had a few more goes in the boat!

Are you going to offer a tuning guide of some sort for the less proficient of us, Dan? The use of Crayons might help

Some split tails for the controls but looks very nice! Good vid.
Looking forward to having a go at LnL

Nope! fully adjustable     Picture below is of a boat in the process of being re-rigged but, hopefully, it will demonstrate how it works? I will try to get more pictures Wednesday

Nice video James thanks, alas this is the first demo day I have done in years where I have not been the best looking sailor.  Another d-zero first!
