Light. Simple. Fast.
The D-ZERO is a compact, responsive 4.2m single-hander, designed to be light, easy to rig, and exhilarating to sail. Born from a collaboration between Daniel Holman and Devoti Sailing in 2014, it combines modern materials with elegant design to deliver a high-quality sailing experience accessible to a wide range of sailors.
Designed to be carried on a car roof and rigged in just ten minutes, the D-ZERO proves that simplicity and performance can go hand in hand — for club sailors and professionals alike.
