It should be run in Vortex v2s.... built, designed and given new horizon by passionate people in true corinthian spirit.

There's also some sense of irony that the collapse of the former Laser Empire still produced something with common value and goodwill.... contrary to the imperial decision to destroy and suppress (by cutting the moulds up).

Don't know why they didn't have sailing in this years commonwealth games ( The Clyde - duh)
Taking it too far - sail it all in Loch Longs. As indigenous a class to the west of Scotland as you can get

And I quote from the Long Long Wikipedia entry: Although the spinnaker was first flown on the Solent in 1860s, this somewhat capricious sail was not adopted by the class until 1975.

A 3rd sail - work of the devil - far to modern

D one isn't made in Italy!


And I've just been reliably informed that the D-One was designed by Phil Morrison, so presumably just as "Commonwealth" as the D-Zero....

The D1 hull was Morrison, the rest, not. So, how much Commonwealth do we need for all this?

Created by an Italian company who employed a Brit to do the hull lines - not sure we are there. I think we need to have boats inspired, designed and built in the Commonwealth, if we really are going to get silly about it!

Devoti are based in Poland, I think the only thing Italian is the name, but Rodney will confirm.

Surely the hull is the most important thing? Phill Morrison is named as the boat designer, good enough for me.
