D-Zero

I had my first go in a D-Zero last weekend, unfortunately only light winds. Very nice feel to the boat, very easily driven low drag hull and could just about carry my weight. Big downside for me was bugger all space under the boom, with the main sheet block getting caught on my BA on every tack. The only technique that I could get to work was to take the sheet straight off the boom and hold it well forward by the kicker, so that I could virtually lie down to then get under the boom. Not graceful, but at least I could avoid getting caught in the main sheet block and not sinking the stern.

Bit like airline seats, they work up to a certain size and beyond that become impossible.

Otherwise I liked it.
