thanks just got some info
The prototype boats have been through extensive testing and development over the past year with input from a number of world class sailors including Richard Stenhouse. We are very happy with the result and following final testing in Palma over the past few weeks we are pleased to announce that commercial production will start in May with delivery roll-outs from June onward.
The D-one has been designed with no compromises and with extensive use of carbon is not the cheapest boat around. With an all up weight less than a Laser and 26 M2 of sail area it provides exceptional performance for a hiking single hander. We estimate the the PY will be around 950. There is a weight equalisation system with two wing positions for sailors over / under 86 Kilos, the lighter sailors will be required to carry correctors but have the benefit of the extra righting moment. With weight equalisation we believe that the competitive weight range will go from 75 Kilos upward, so far we have had sailors sailing the boat from 70 Kilos to 120 Kilos and all have thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
We are hoping to get some boats into the UK by mid-June
