Nope and up wind.... nearly got it going as fast as a 400 :p
Go for Phantom, there's a very early epoxy one for sale at L&L (1101) but if you've got it enough money look for a 1200 + Alex |

Yeah still at Southport although Ed is currrently at Pilks, there are a few Phantoms knocking around and I think others may be tempted if a few more boats appear. I've had a go in both and enjoyed sailing them, but i think the Phantom is probably still the way I'm leaning. With regards to the alternatives, I've not seen any local blazes how well do they go on restricted waters? Theres a pair of EPS' at Southport but i'd prefer to go with a more active class and although the 100's look really good at 6k they're outside my budget, the same with the Finn really.

Matt,
Are you still sailing at Southport? If so then a Phantom is a clear winner, as you'll be able to sail against Ed Thomas and have someone to gauge your performance against. |

.... rising to the 'fly' possibly ...
'Us dozy builders' offered Greame a cheap Blaze hull and a lot of bits so he could make (destruct ?) his own 'Franken-Blaze' a while back but that offer was spurned and predictably what we actually got after the over long gestation period was the 'V2' .. .. 'the love child of a pedalo and a fishing smack' as some described it. We'll turn the other cheek now - Greame if you can overcome the 'pride' issue that offer is still genuinly open and some of the salvagable fittings might even be useful. (We'll lend you the lighter for what remains to burn with all those old Ents and Solos you admire in November) Back on track - if your local water is as we think then 'keep it simple' is the advice... go with the Phantom on this occasion. (or like GRF even grab an EPS  ... why not even visit the Forumites meeting at Broxbourne for more madhouse 'useful advice' !) Mike L. Edited by blaze720 - 29 Aug 12 at 8:03pm |

I used to sail a vareo great fun seemed to be ok on handicap at certain times must be better now at 1045 hard work upwind i agree on that one but once you know how to do it was fine.
But i have to say phantom looks a better choice i am just under 100 kg and i now have a 300 much more fun than either on the open sea if you are lake sailing go for the phantom looks a lovely boat
