The Dzero is quite a lot lighter. Hull weight is 40kg (Mk2 epoxy Nova) vs 30kg , but that ignores the rig, where the Nova is ally mast and long ally boom. the Dzero is all carbon and much lighter, so a difference in all up weight. the plumb bow of the Zero maximises waterline length, so that is likely to be almost identical. Sail area is similar - Fat head versus fully battened. With those stats and the punk PY of 1050 vs 1071 for the Nova you would expect it to be faster

In my defence I was just a little tired and my mind was somewhat distracted over the weekend. Rest assured that all will be good for the future roadshows!

FWIW- I think that would very much depend on the age and mark of the Supernova. The new ones are demons in light winds, the old ones, erm, not so much.

Hi Simon
you should have stayed about 3pm nice breeze came in. It meant we all ended up staying a bit later than expected. Thanks to Rodney, Sue and Adrian(Dont let Rodney rig anything its always wrong) and the visitors who came and enjoyed a lovely day, shame the breeze was a bit late in getting to us. Hopefully Rodney has some good footage on the go pro. Gordon |

So here's a question if you sailed it in the light against yourself in a Supernova which boat would win? |

If you think that is movement, think how much space there is around a laser mast! The deck level fitting is almost identical (if not identical) to a d-one. Its not tight tight, but I would guess has a 2-3mm movement max. I sailed it in the light today and there was no sense of a mast wobble of any kind.

Looks good.
One question. At about 1.50 or so when dan is reaching, it appears that the mast is moving laterally, or at least it does to me. Does this mean that the foot is loose and if so does this have an affect on pointing at all?

Everything I say is my opinion, honest
