It helps to check your referrer logs for your web site; today I came across some visits from a site Destination One Design. Always a thrill to see what other guys are doing to promote sailing.

On very FIRST impression it appears that the web site is either a collaboration between the editor and Quantum Sails or an initiative by Quantum Sails to provide more information and advice for one design sailors who, obviously, are their target market. Now I am saying appears as a good thing.

Looking a little further this is the official Destination One Design What is It:

Destination One Design™ (D1D) is an innovative new service for competitive sailors. This web-based service, sponsored by Quantum Sail Design Group of Annapolis, MD, will focus on providing essential information, education, service, and support for racing sailors.

D1D is committed to enriching the global community of competitive sailors by bringing together and promoting essential information, services, and support.

It is our mission to offer a continuously improving package of innovative technologies that will enable sailors to compete with greater confidence and achieve higher levels of success. In doing so, we expect to improve the individual sailor’s overall enjoyment of the sport of sailing and thereby bring the sport expanding and enduring popularity.

One Design Classes

Part of the goal of D1D is to furnish sailors with the most up-to-date tuning guides and class-specific information. Originally founded supporting 4 classes, D1D is adding new classes and supported information every week!

What if I don't see my favorite class on D1D?

Keep checking back with D1D. We are adding more and more classes every week. If you would like to suggest a class for sooner publication, please don't hesitate to send us an email. Your interest is greatly appreciated!

One of the clear favorite features on D1D is our podcasts from the field. From the docks of the latest D1D-supported one design event to personal interviews with sailing experts and celebrities, you can listen at your computer or take the show on the road with your portable digital audio player!
