phantom/solution

If you have been following the varous threads on this you would know the solution is aimed at the 'gap' between the Laser and the Phantom. To be comeptitive in a Phantom you need to be 14st+ once you reach 12 1/2 in a Laser you are a bit too heavy.

It is also aimed at youth sailors who dont want to go the Laser route but want to get in to something a bit more feisty.

It is in a similar performance bracket to the Blaze.

I chose the Blaze over the Solution on price (the Blaze was cheaper) and the fact that the Blaze is an established class.

Why start a new class in this bracket when there is already Supernova? Good luck on friday young Pabs in the Builders Bum Championships.

Solution PY I believe is 1056.

It is in the Supernova/Blaze bracket but there is a large market out there IF these boats get marketed correctly and people can be persuaded out of their Lasers as that is where the bulk of the market is currently sitting.

At the end of the money people pays their money and takes their choice. The guy marketing the Solution think there is a gap and best of luck to them. The boat does look good, were it a little more developed I might even have bought one myself.

What kind of weight would be optimum for the RES?

PB i think you have to be in the gap between 12.5 stone and 14stone if jeffers is right.
