As you might have seen we are expanding our Devoti offering here at Sailing Chandlery and are now offering the D-Zero dinghy.
Of course, when we get a new boat in we want to get out there and test it for ourselves. This weekend we took advantage of a reasonable forecast, loaded up a used D-Zero onto the trailer and headed to our sailing club to get the boat out on the water.
As with any boat that arrives at a sailing club you soon get a crowd coming over to see what the boat is, who's it is and what is happening. With it being on the back of the Sailing Chandlery van most people thought it was a new boat we were delivering to a customer.
Initial impressions of the D-Zero from the people who came over:
Unfortunately we picked a dull grey British summers day, but on the flip side that did mean we had some decent wind to sail in.
The breeze was up and it was blowing between a force 4 and force 5 across the River Blackwater. Enough to get the boat going and give it a real test.
Both Jason (68kgs) and Andrew (95kgs) sailed the boat, Jason was up first after launching and took off from the hard.

A good product efficiently dispatched
The definitive racing watch - my daughter is delighted. Hopefully it will be put to good use in the Uni sailing team. Great service as usual from Sailing Chandlery.
Just the job for mooring warps for my motor canoe. Pleasant to handle and plenty of elasticity. Delivery prompt. Very happy.
Very pleased - strong rowlock at a reasonable price. Prompt delivery.
Quality product. I have used these before, but have learned only recently that replacement O-rings are available. Definitely a bonus!
Delivery was prompt and the goods were well packaged. Very pleased.
Perfect shape for a complicated job and delivery and communications were excellent
The 750ml size is idea for longer outings, particularly in the warmer months. A good quality bottle.
Sturdy well-shaped brim, good stitching. All in all, very good value.
A very robust design with an easy to use valve and attachment ring. It also has a loop to tuck the valve away to stop it snagging on the shroud as it's hoisted which is a nice addition. Overall an excellent float.
