Hell! I've got a good composite boat with tin rig and matched sail that I'd let go for far less than that! (not being used and could do with a quick deck strip and varnish).
OKs are awesome!

Just a few more pictures from the factory.  This is the boat that visitors to stand G30 at the Dinghy Show can take a look at.  Come and say hello and let us tell you all about the D-Zero  Smile  You can book a demo, place an order at the Dinghy Show offer or just do some window shopping!

OMG take it away.. Even though it's got all those things I hate, like daggerboards and fixed blade rudders, it just looks... er just right.

Smooth, slippery, stylish, it's going to be very tough to resist..

It's for the painter...

Anyway down to the important bit, what's the price? And don't tell me you can't say before the Dinghy Show else how am I going to know how many notes to bring?

A boat that narrow will derive quite a lot of its righting moment from hiking.  It's not for you Grumph.

Bit of a shame the control lines don't come out to the sides for easy adjustment and I don't really understand how that traveler works? Any ideas, is that ring spliced to the lower line? Is that the cleat for it at the back of the toe strap? Seems like a lot of expense and complication to go to for something that still wont be adjustable very easily mid race. The mainsheet going back to a "normal" system is a bit of a shame, that tunnel looked great before and made the cockpit look huge!

Yeah you're probably right, he was hanging out a lot at the FOM, but then I couldn't get near him even with the wings on my EPS and they come with other issues, like windward capsizes if the wind suddenly drops or heads, it's not much fun being short upper body in a dinghy, not like windsurfing where you just cant the rig further over.
It's such a lovely boat though..

Looks good Rodney, very good! If I had the money I would be sorely tempted (and if I was not too heavy.....)

Do you have any idea on the weight range yet?
