The Real D-One Thread

be could to see Andy too. Got a spare one?

I stand corrected, good to see Mr Cumbley will be dusting the covers off!  Maxi we will let you out for a blast at the Exmoor Beastie, we have a few Phantom sailors that want to 'Give it a go' (best make sure the wings are on the inner setting with you lot)

86kg and below outer settings 86.1kg and above inner (I believe) Which i think works well, the systems with righting moment used by the 700 and 800 seem to work well for them, but i guess the idea is to keep things simple and adding corrector weights to the hull of a boat to make up for light crew weight seems a bit last centuary...but i guess it has worked for them for this long so!?

Rodney, thanks but that was very much tongue in cheek, I'm hoping to fail dismally in my phantom this weekend.

Russ, yes I do want to take you up on your offer. Will you he there on sat as well, otherwise might be a struggle to get out before the Beastie on sun, but if not will have a go then if you don't mind.

I thought the lightweights setting required a large lump of lead in the boat too?
