You'll never know until you try the D-Zero
|
The Devoti D-Zero is recognised as one of the most exciting of the new generation dinghies; appealing to any age, size or ability, from beginner to the most discerning experienced racer. Rapidly increasing fleets, from Cornwall to Scotland, a comprehensive regatta program and training, all can enjoy the D-Zero experience.
The Devoti Optimist uses the same super high-quality build techniques, ceramic moulds and highly experienced builders to provide the highest specification Optimist on the market. From the results in Europe and North America, the Devoti Optimist is the one to be sailing ! From the makers of the Devoti Finn Fantastica that Ben Ainslie sailed & kept winning the Olympics, and all the top Finn sailors request no other builder, the passion and quality of build is passed to every dinghy. See why others want to sail Devoti D-Zero and Optimist. The Devoti boats are coming to a water near you at several demo events throughout the year across the UK. We have a demo D-Zero and Optimist available for use at events. The Optimist is ready to swop your rig and foils into, to give an immediate comparison between your current hull and the Devoti. At some events, current D-Zero owners will be on hand to show off the performance, and what they believe this is the boat of choice for many - you'll know what when you've tried it. See the Demos and Training page for further details of the locations and dates. Or contact the team and ask how a demo near you can be arranged. |
The D-Zero does not compromise in any way - starting at Devoti Sailing with a huge amount of passion, knowledge and expertise in building extremely high quality sailing dinghies, partnering with Compotech to make the exceptional carbon composite components, matched with a specially tuned North Sails one design kevlar laminate sail, and supported by Harken blocks and cleats throughout. Everything is about a high quality, exceptional design, so you can just get on and have the most fun sailing
The D-Zero is a clear demonstration of "No Compromise"
Dan Holman designed the Punk and spent a few years developing it and transforming it, along with Sue & Rodney Cobb @ Suntouched Sailboats, and with Luca Devoti & Roman Teply @ Devoti Sailing, with help from North Sails, Compotech Carbon Components and Harken, and has evolved into the amazing end result of the D-Zero that we know today !
Luca & Roman @ Devoti say "Great for just a fun outing, but designed with the competitive sailor in mind, the D-Zero is a RYA recognised class with a full calendar of regattas in the UK, and a growing fleet in other European countries. And the most important: it is a blast to sail ..."

Ian Morgan, 2016 National Champion - This must be the fastest and most comfortable single handed hiker upwind I have ever sailed !
David Summerville, Top 5 D-Zero Sailor - The nicest boat I've ever sailed: simple, fun, light and responsive with electric performance
George Cousins, 2017 National Champion - Fun, fast and affordable
Jez Adams, keen sailor - Having raced a Laser for 6 years I have found the D-Zero an absolute joy to sail ! Delivering performance with less effort. And they look fantastic on the beach too !

Whether you wish to race or social sail, the D-Zero will give you the performance you require without the days of practice.
Rigged in minutes, launched in seconds, fun for hours !
Its great for fun, though designed for the racer of any level, and very competitive - currently running a PY handicap of 1029 grey rig or 1070 blue rig, you'll be mixing it with the asymmetric double handers on the upwinds, and annoyingly quick on the downwinds !
Very easy to depower with the cunningham/kicker, the North Sails kevlar laminate and the Compotech spars react brilliantly in all winds, with Harken blocks throughout to control the sheets, and even lighter sailors are able to sail the grey rig without compromising speed
The narrow bow pierces the waves with ease, and the hull design is ergonomic for hiking and takes the spray away as you gain speed
A very active race circuit and well supported Class Association giving close racing for all ages and abilities
Don't take our word for it, it is a blast to sail, come and try it !
