Don't buy an MX Ray! It was a great idea that was poorly realised. Also less stable than a RS600 IMO.

I would love to get a blaze x but, i am a student and cannot afford one, even second hand, unless someone will do an exchange for a contender. I cannot afford anything much more than a laser or an MX Ray, i have been given an offer on one. Also the only way for me to but any of these boats will to be to sell my contender, as i dont get on with the boom clearance. Dan |

Always over looked and i'm going to get a bararge of abuse but the Ok is always over looked, they are great boats, and you can pick a competitive one up for nothing. Reasonable fleet sizes, bit of a handfull upwind and hell for death rolling down wind but rewarding none the less.

11.5 stone too light for a Blaze ..... better not tell Tim D. or Simon Beddows then ! Yes towards the light end but still within the effective range as widely proven. As ever the standard reply is always going to be TRY ONE yourself ! Lots give opinion without ever having sailed the boats they discuss (Yes I know Pauls got one as well) but fortunately with the Blaze its mostly technique that counts!
Anyway good luck with whatever you end up with - but I'd be cautious about the MX myself. A dog upwind for sure in any wind and (even) the more available 'veryslo' is better offwind if you must have a spinni. If you like pain and agony and larger fleets in a retro style then maybe the Laser as a fallback until you know what might be good longer term. Most CA's are always willing to help - perhaps a cruise around the dinghy show is best advised...... Blaze 720 |

Well, i dont know. I think that it will have to be a laser, and see how it goes. The MX Ray would be lovely downwind but its a bit of a risky buy. |
