British D-One sailors took some time off from manning the busy class stand at the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show to form the British D-One Association and elect its first committee. Tim Garvin (Chairman), Jon Hammond (Secretary) and Charlie Chandler (Technical & Training) were duly elected.
Rodney Cobb of Suntouched Sailboats the British importer of the D-One said, with a twinkle in his eye of the post formation celebrations, "I guess that the beers are a sign of things to come!"
On the Sunday Tim and Jon formally handed over the RYA affiliation documents to Helen Waterhouse, the RYA show manager on the RYA stand in the Panorama Hall.
2012 is going to be an exciting year for the Class with training, Open meetings, Regattas, European events, D-One clothing available from www.waveclothing.co.uk and structured demo days with D-One sailor Russ Hopkins.
