I'm all about the crayons. Yep I could have a think about that once I've had a few more goes in the boat!

Love the low freeboard, and the way the topside flair seems to generate a lot of reserve stability - all the more useable for the lack of draggy gunwale lips.

Very clean planing on the short clip we saw.  Got to be substantially quicker than a Laser at that point.

That EPS sailor must have thought that the D-Zero sail was see-through for the wind as well.  Can't say I noticed the traveller on the 0 boat, but there were better things to be looking at, as clearly the photographer also thought...

Even I would enjoy sailing if I was following that beauty around the lake, I mean the D-Zero of course!!

Light Grey for me TR... hopefully to match that lovely grey sail.

I think Russ is going for the grey one too.

Is that the only colour choice, grey or white? Or can you order a purple one, like Nikky's Lightning?

Or a light blue one like TR13? I think the idea is to keep it simple and enjoy the boat, probably not to worry about colour.

I have it on strict agreement that trade-ins for knobby colours will be available for early adopters in due time ... Failing that, vinyl wrapping the shorter LWL Aero will be an option ;-)

Not so sure about the low freeboard - looks lovely, but a cold, windy, January day in a chop on Grafham...not sure even my new drysuit would be enough to keep me comfortable. Maybe at 50 I'm getting a bit soft! Good vid tho and nice looking boat.

quite true.... not sure that concept sounds so great in any boat mind.  I can't say I missed winter sailing this year, I must be getting older too ;-)
