Is affiliation to a national body a step on the road to international status with ISAF?

I guess international status is a way off yet, but I am sure it will make up part of the international assocation adventually.  Like the ok's having a long term strategic plan is something we will be looking at over the common months.

Never thought that was in the Solent, but nice windsurfing spot it is. Is the sand bar still there about hundred yards offshore, ready to catch your skeg?

You may be right about whether that's technical the Solent or English Channel... I've no idea, but it looks like you could blast to the needles and back if you've got the stones for it, so I've always called it the Solent.

And yes, the skate park ramp is still there... great at low to mid tide as you can use it to do 'cheating waterstarts' and get straight on to the push and ride in.... although I'd very much hope that the SC would be sailing quite a bit further offshore in those lovely D-Zeros!

FWIW -  I wouldn't rush the International Class thing, there's a whole load of onerous red tape and if not handled right, can make your first big events - like World Championships, look a bit, well 'noddy', if you're not too careful.

I firmly believe the D-Zero has the makings a great modern classic, and you guys are treading a respectable path on that journey.  

You have a modern precedent to follow- hook up with the MPS fleet and ask about their successes and what they might do differently with hindsight.  There's no competition in terms of the style of sailing both boats offer- I don't think they'd have anything to fear from talking with you guys.

I'm pretty sure the Highcliffe meeting is being shared with the D One and the contenders.
the same, but different...

Just to clarify the last indications were that the D-Zeros will be sharing their Nationals next year with the D-Ones, Contenders and Musto Skiffs.
