2015 Davidson Division 2 prototype

Posted on by

Check this out! Jonas new Div II prototype!

Here is what Jonas has to say about his proto:

“The new boards have a totally new design. With the 8,5/9,5 sails it is possible to rail upwind and plane downwind in lower windspeeds compared to the old 6,5 sails. This makes it possible to design the hull for higher speed but still with round bortom all the way back to the stern. The new boards have new position for centerboard and mast-track”

“The prototypes are made of glassfibre and epoxy with a core of expanded polystyren. The weight is 16kg (without fin and centerboard). It is possible to make a lighter board with prepreg and honeycomb but that is if we should start production”

“The dimensions are within D2 classrules. 3900/630/590/220”

Simply Awesome! Congrats Jonas!

Last weekend, in Aber Wrac’h Brittany, France, a bunch of 15 guys took a 3 days class under the coaching of Olivier, Nicolas and Stéphane. The training was held at the nautical base of Aber Wrac’h, the CVL (http://www.cvl-aberwrach.fr/, web site also in english). They had a really good time and the weather although a little bit cold was sunny with steady winds of 10-20 knots during the 3 days session. Everyday the sailors had a briefing, de-briefing and video analyses. So big kuddo to the coaches, the sailors and the sailing centre for hosting such an event, the first since many years!

Here are a few pics of the sessions:

Missing: a croconut tri-concave div II board

Dear all, Laurent T, a hard-core opendivist is missing his beautiful croconut tri-concave board, shaped by famous shapeur Pierre Audet from France. The board was last seen mid-February and was stored in the boat shed of his nautical club at Lamor beach, in Brittany France. Here are a few pics:

Have you seen it? if so, please contact us!

Many thanks
