The D-One Europeans and GBR Nationals start this week at Brightlingsea Sailing Club. A coaching day will be followed by three days of fun but competitive racing. Nick Craig nearly managed a clean sweep of all the major championships during 2013 but was denied the British National Championships, having to settle for second place on that occasion. However during 2014 he is hoping to go one better, but with the fleet continuing to grow and with several boats having been chartered for the event, racing is going to be very close!

The D-One fleet is also excited to announce that CompoTech are sponsoring the 2014 D-One Europeans. Compotech are a Czech is a composite manufacturing and engineering company specialising in the high-tech automated filament laying (AFL). Founders Ondrej and Vitek started in 1994 producing carbon fibre paddle shafts while competing in white water canoe for the Czech Republic.

Since then CompoTech has always maintained strong links to cutting edge marine development from the carbon fibre head foils produced for America's cup teams in the 2000's and the licence of their production technology to Southern Spars. CompoTech have worked closely with Devoti Sailing in the production of the D-One rig and now also the D-Zero rig as well as Fin rig developments.
