Still agree with the others, a 60Kg guy in a full rig, you may be able to manage it, BUT what you can't see if the damage you are doing to your neck, back, knees etc. Afterall, how many kids do you see on the circuit sailing a full rig laser Answer (on TVGP) NONE, they all race the Radial or 4.7 (that is inland too) |

You should definatly get a radial they are good fun, have a good race series and, although time in the boat is great, you can jump into it at any point and sail unlike a rs300 which will send you swimming all the time.
Also you post above about your amazing laser skills really isnt needed. Any average sailor could jump in one and blast up and down but your not really sailing like Jon are you? |

Im going to se if I can get a test sail for a 300 to see.
I do like the look of the streaker's
Need to test a 300. shame I dont know anyone with them, if i did i could have one or two go's in it to see where I stand. I also may be moving on to work soon so time on water could reduce and I know thats bad for getting the hang of a boat. Also the 29er will be picking up again when the season gets into full swing. |

Get a laser radial, spend time doing opens etc. which will increase you tactical ability, then maybe move up to a full rig. The laser will teach you so much. Then in a years time look at a 300. Also before you start test sailing everything under the son i would sell your Feva first, other wise you will fall in love with something and be gutted when you cant buy it due to still owning a feva!

The Blaze is a good boat & with the tramps & hiking racks you have good righting leverage,It also has had Very Good lightweight sailors in the past they just depowered earlier. If you go to http://www.rs300.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&tas k=view&id=38&Itemid=29 this will link you to a page with the blaze / 300 test that dinghy mag done in 2002. The blaze used was a X version this is the version that 90% of all the second hand MK 1 boats ( red hulled ) are converted too or after sail No 654 ish they built as the X as the standard. I am sure that blaze720 or jeffers will be along in a little while to correct me if I am wrong,It`s certainly a boat that I would go back too. |
