D-One International Class Association.


I have recently been made International Class Association Secretary, with Philippe Rogge as President.
Class Website on the way!

Mast Foot Block

I have recently moved the Mast foot Block.

The mast now sits further forward in the boat and this has a remarkable effect on the weather helm on the rudder.
It is so much lighter.
Wish I had done it a long time ago.

Be warned though....you will have to measure your mast rake again as the chock sizes change to get the correct rake.

Mail me if you need help.

Valencia

Currently on day 2 of Valencia gold cup D-one racing.
This was lunch yesterday.

Currently I am 11th overall out of 30 with a 9th and 12th.
There are 5 people I can beat ahead of me and the others are Olympic sailors, including Ed Wright,  who I would like to try and beat today.
We are just waiting for the sea breeze to build before launching.
