Just for clarity - the D Zero I am sailing is leased for money, I pay all the insurance, boat park and will be picking up my Crimbo present for it from CB trailers next week. I am also in dialogue about buying one outright, however we are fine tuning the personalisation.

I may also buy two Aeros/Vareos or D-Zeros (one blue rig) in the summer - either this year or next.

Anyway carry on folks... There's bugger all else being discussed on this forum currently.

Don't be such a condescending prick- you know nothing of motives and rationale for any one person's line of enquiry on this forum. For what it's worth, knowing whether one can expect to receive a botch job the other end of an international order is of quite pertinent importance to some people who read this forum- myself included, as I might well be in the market for two of these boats next summer from RS Velereos.

No need for that first line. James.

Have seen this argument used before and find it mildly condescending. It's a forum, people dip in and out all the time and comment when and what they want.That's it, there's no compulsion to do any more. Just because someone doesn't start threads doesn't mean that they cannot make a relevant comment.
Also just because a comment disagrees with something doesn't mean a thread is " shouted down".

Cards on the table, I am a self-confessed Solo "fan boy" but above all I just love sailing boats. 

Even as  Solo sailor, I was  excited to read the news about the D0 and Aero. Aesthetically, the D0 looks like the dog's whatsits. While I did not warm quite as readily to the design of the Aero it  sure looks to be a total blast to sail (from the videos).  

The average Sunday club sailor like me who is proficient enough racing their boat on a Sunday down at the club is never destined for greatness due to a total lack of talent and and limited time. They want something that is relatively simple and not super hard to sail while remaining exciting. Forget Mustos and RS300's. Great as they are, I know that I for one would spend far too much time swimming. The D0 and Aero look brilliantly conceived for club sailors.  

Here we are, after years of complaining about the limited number of alternatives to the Laser and two two very commendable options emerge.  Cue Hallelujas? Well to a point, yes but mixed with a surprising level of cynicism, negativity and undermining. 

The  builders deserve great praise for bringing these boats to the market. I am always keen to read about people's personal experiences of sailing boats and I am interested to read constructive and considered criticism as well but please let's keep it that way because the other stuff is a total turn-off.

I would say that the revenue flow - combined - shows the cynicism is rather over-stated. after all, where are the Laser sailors saying they're BOTH doomed?

Shame they don't race together is my honest opinion... Same as my first post on this very thread!

Forgot to say in my haste- agreed with everything else Caveman said.

And looking fed to Oxford- first dingy race in 15 months !
