Given the choice (and having sailed both boats) I know which one I would choose.....

I haven't sailed the D0 (but have sailed a Phantom) and I'm putting my faith in Devotti to rekindle my sailing enthusiasm on the basis that it looks so right, therefore will be right ! However, it's been a loooong year so far without any sailing action and I am keen to get on the water sometime v soon, so hope there's no 'slippage' of the delivery dates.

Get to a Demo day for a taster, you will not be disappointed I am sure of that.

I think I'm expecting mine w/c 14th July. I guess I was the last person at the show in March to order one.

Excellent, should have some news as to a PY by then. I am already being harassed by the sailing committee for one and I am not expecting mine til some time in August.

I'm not in the market for a  single hander, but will be up at Yorkshire Dales for a 200 open this weekend.
 
I wouldn't want to stop a perspective customer having a demo, but would be quite interested in seeing whether the boat lives up to the forum hype.
 
If it's OK I may try and cadge an ad hoc ride in one, subject to demos still being available after racing, the queue not being too long and the missus not asking what on earth I want to trial a single hander for!

I'm sure we will still be going after the RS200s have finished, you are very welcome to have a go.

I wasn't in the market either but the boat is seriously nice. Get the Mrs to try one too if she fancies it...  Wink
