Pictured right is Ed Wright celebrating his win in this year's Europeans sailing his Devoti D-Fantastica. The medal race was
epic with winds gusting over 30 knots and huge seas. The on board video of Ed's medal race is worth watching, even if you've
seen it before it's probably worth another look. You can find the video here

The Devoti D-Fantastica is the choice of all of the World's best Finn sailors. It's no surprise to us, of course, that the Fantastica
continues to show its pace in the Finn class major events across the world.
The boat just seems to 'feel right' both to windward and
downwind giving the edge that's so important in this close racing class according to Rodney Cobb. He goes on to say that his Fantastica
is the best Finn he has ever owned (having owned about 30 or more Finns over the years) and is such a joy to sail. His take on the
design it that it's going to be hard to improve on this innovative Finn and believes that it's so close to perfection that it will
be the boat to beat way into the future. For more information go here or Email us,

activities. The spraytop is designed to leave maximum freedom in all kind of movements, the neoprene neck can be adapted to be very
tight and also widely opened with a simple velcro strap closure, the primaskin gaskets on wrists are skin tight, but very stretchable,
therefore highly watertight, but still very comfortable. The elbows are reinforced with Cordura fabric to give the spraytop more abrasion
resistance & longevity.

Update!
Having passed the D-Zero element of our business to Howwhatwhere Ltd, David Valentine, there's more time for sailing so the objective
has been achieved. David's done a great job on the new D-Zero website,
www.dzero.co.uk, which also includes online shopping
for the owners.
The Nationals this year were hosted by the Mount Batten Centre in Plymouth and attracted over 40 entries. For
some great video of the Nationals check these three out
Day 1,
Day 2,
Day 3.
It's great for us to see the continued development
of the D-Zero class and we are looking forward to visiting the D-Zero Inland Championships at Grafham Water Sailing Club, to be held
8th/9th September. We're hoping for a record entry but, sadly, there's a clash with Emsworth Slipper SC's regatta. Emsworth
has the second largest D-Zero fleet in the UK so it's bound to have some effect on numbers but, having said that the class is
now strong enough to support 2 events over the one weekend.

After months of design and development work we have now launched the new Needlespar MkIIS ('S' for stiff) Finn boom. We understand the need for a Finn boom to be superstiff and have focused on being able to offer the stiffest Finn boom on the market. Stiff Finn booms are essential for sail control when beating and providing full power on the offwind legs, especially when pumping.
All of the machining and fitting out of these booms is done in house so we have full control when it comes to quality. Using, predominately, Harken fittings and a carbon vang lever these booms are without compromises.They are based on the original Needlespar Finn booms but with more control over consistancy of product characteristics to ensure that all ouput is of equally high specification. We can supply the booms as blank sections, machined and ready for fittings or fully fitted. As always most of the fittings are Harken and we offer options of stainless steel or rope hangers for mainsheet block and tie off. All outhaul lines are high quality Dyneema.
Having extensively tested the new Needlespar MkIIS Finn booms Henry Wetherell and Ben Cornish, both pictured right, chose to use the booms at the Finn Gold Cup in Aarhus.
Prices, ex-works, are:- Silver £400.00 (450.00 EUR) and Black £440.00 (495.00 EUR) plus VAT @20% for EU purchases. Contact us for shipping costs or more information - info@suntouched.co.uk, +44 (0) 7734251033
Also available are the Suntouched Carbon vang levers with optional 13mm or 16.2mm holes for pivot pins.
Yes, the New Needlespar MkIIS Finn boom has arrived!
