Dzero seesm a slow grow in clubs now. RSAERO seems to be big in some but dies off at others. Anyone switched from one to the other?

We did have a long term poster that did go from one to the other ( as well as a D-one , a Hadron and a Supernova too ) But he left years ago after a spat with our ‘ favourite’ troll . Though I did hear a rumour that he is thinking of getting a D-zero again .
I’ve raced a aero and own a D-zero , both good boats and the biggest difference between them was and is the quality of the marketing. The down side of this is sometimes Aeros were sold to people who believed the marketing a little too literally. But the bottom line is the Aero has sold in thousands and the D-zero has sold in hundreds and I cannot see that percentage of sales changing . On a personal level I just prefer how the D-zero feels underneath me and the fact I only need one sail to cover all the conditions I would sail in . |

I agree, the DZ just feels so much better, but even so I find myself on the look out for an A7 more suited to use on the sea. |

Why an A7 for the sea? Thought dzero meant to be good in waves because of the wave piercing bow if a bit wetter.
