More likely you're just tacking too far back in the boat... I hadn't noticed that happening when I sailed one. (or do you weigh 19 stone?) |

The times i've sailed one it goes like a rocket but tacking it makes it scoop up water from the open back. Isn't this because of the lack of rocker and buoyancy at the back of the boat? |

I actually thought it needed a bit more rocker to be a truely good alrounder,
but having said that from my one sail in it I think its actually a bit of a handicap bandit! Turns out I would have won the fast handicap fleet even though they started 3 minutes ahead! Surprisingly nice boat, but then so was the EPS... |

Grief mate, it is not a criticism to say that the Blaze is not a "very low rocker" boat. Bearing in mind the various vices that can come with banging that particular design corner its more the reverse. Its a pretty typical mainstream late 80s British hull shape evolved from the pre amalgamation 14 design style.

Context guys - its not a Cherub although even I dabbled there once upon a long time ago indeed ! (probably before most current Cherub racers were born) The Blaze class is far from being as extreme and it is a medium speed hiking singlehander - but relative to its 'peers' its very flat indeed. Think Phantom, Laser etc. We all know what extreme means and it is always relative to the context.
Blaze 720 - ( but I will post numbers before too long and measure a few comparable classes first as well - could be interesting) |

OK this is really a huge amount of rocker ( Merlin Rocket banana boat)
and this is low rocker ( even for a cherub ): 
I would suggest that the blaze is therefore moderate rocker! Just tell us the numbers! Edited by I luv Wight |
