Its a Hoot!
Actually I'd be interested to know if Dougall would like it as much as the Devoti D1 he trashed in Como!
Its got the same old man's armchair arrangements for the helm!
With those foils and all perhaps its an entry level desighn for the "little" americas Cup

Gosh, this is all a tad harsh! It was an ac of selfless sacrifice, think how good it is that people can thrash their D-Ones secure in the knowledge that they're not about to fire shards of carbon fibre and harken ball bearings everywhere!
And anyway...I was only obeying orders!
