D-Zero

Exactly, I did my first ever Time Trial the other day.  My top speed was well above the Moth record and average was above 20knotts.  Hardly breath taking quick.  But relative i guess.

Hi.
The bridle goes pretty much full beam of the boat i.e 1.4m, rather than the laser which if memory serves goes out to 1m or so, giving a sheeting angle of only 9 deg, which is too close for windy stuff.
I could get 14 deg on the punk just on main and trav, I think you can still get out to pretty much 13 deg on the D zero without using vang - all helped by a slightly shorter foot length than the laser. Moving the bridle forward would mean having to use fittings and mechanical fastners  to anchor the bridle in an area where you might want to sit, or moving the slope of the transom forward thus losing trimming moment for windy reaches. The traveller going through drilled holes through the hull/deck join at the transom was also necessary for the original punk under floor sheeting.
The low sheet loads despite about 32kg leech tension when block to block have suprised me too but are testament to using 40mm harken T2 ball bearing blocks, and having much less blocks and corners to turn than the orig punk system.
