Carbon v Glass

   Pabs got there first - get an RS300 - faster, more fun, cheaper and there's no arms race for the right mast/sail combination for your weight.

	Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.

	I had an RS300, kissed goodbye to my knees! I find the Phantom a much more pleasant sail and bigger fleet. I've only raced against one RS300 in the Phantom and beat him over the water, it was light winds though.

	My knees are good you just have to be patient and then weep the rewards. I sail with three others on a shifty pond and don’t have a problem with her on a bigger lake or the see they are a pleasure to sail

	As ever you just just have to try all available - all contributions here naturally hype the writers favorite !! We are no exception of course so get in contact and come along for a trial sail and/or race in a loan Blaze. At 85 kg you are an ideal weight and if you can handle a Laser you will not find the boat difficult - it just takes a bit longer to adjust technique to suit. Where do you sail ?
