The Blaze is certainly not slow and not as extreme as an RS300 (I considered a 300 but decided it would be too fast for the lake i sail on). Really must get a go in a 300 when i have more free time.....
The Blaze gives lighter weights the power of something like a Phantom but in a much more controllable form (the Phantom guys rarely go out in anything about a F4). Paul |

I concur....
Trapezing is comfy right up to the point where you get catapulted round to meet Mr Forestay..... Rack sailing is much more comfy....my boat is affectionately known as 'the bed' to my fellow club mates (right up to the point where leave them for dead in a gust). Paul |

can I put one on the Vareo... my feckin' legs are killing me today....
So to avoid all discusion about the 'right' height for trapeze get yourself a set of wings - ideally on a Blaze ! Go on - you might even like it ... Blaze 720 |

You should have got a trapeze boat - but I guess you were probably put off y the issue of how high they needed to be attached ... Rick |

This thread reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend about a Newton's cradle in outer space... |

Indeed. And as you point out the internal forces are important for various reasons, just not for the overall righting moment. Ben: I know what your mean about the demon drink - my previous posting was made under the influence, which had me waking up this morning wondering if I'd completely misinterpreted you last night! But your MSc will ensure that you get the right answer even when alcohol-fuelled - that's the benefit of a university education... |
