Having read this and your post in the 100 thread, do you have some axe to grind? You seem pretty aggressive for a newie. Doug H |

.....didn't Paul Young of Rondar take the Halo/Blazetron there earlier this
year for photoshooting. What ever happened to those pix, woulda thought
they would have been worth seeing ....
  Lots more available ! Won't post anymore here but in December when formally 'launched' maybe we'll start a seperate thread. We think a few of you will like this particular option rather a lot..... |

is anyone else thinking the guy sailing the blaze should really get his arse over the edge and get powered up?

Yes me as well - and it twas me in the boat ! You try 4 hours each day out there in decent breeze and see if you give it welly 100% of the time (we were not racing!) We have plenty of 'powered up' photos as well but thought you might like to see the rig with a bit of 'Garda backdrop'. Note it is still flying upwind though ....

Are you not a tad on the light side for a Halo as well Mike? I have to say that sail looks bloody big especially on the second shot. I remember when I first sat in the Blaze and thought **** me thats a lot of sail! Looking good though, can't wait to read the Test in Y&Y... |

Hi Paul
Absolutely I'm a bit light relatively - at a very modest 84kg ! You got to remember the leverage available though (proper wings you know - and Jeffers you do know that already don't you). It really is one for the big guys as has been said - but an awful lot of fun anyway. Having said that the main is only 0.34 of a metre bigger than a Phantom at 11.59m (but tall of course) and the wings still make it very much easier anyway at any weight. Could have gone a lot bigger but the target spec did not require it and we wanted to preserve the full high wind capability. In fact I get back in a Blaze in breeze now and think .... God that's easy ! Seriously Halo is fantastic, does exactly what we hoped a year ago and simply needs to be tried. We are horribly biased, but still think many should try it and make up your own minds. In the meantime I've got a winter of pasta and beer ahead to get up to a proper Halo 'fighting weight'.

Aren't we a little bit too far towards promoting our own boat on a rival's topic here folks? Way off topic for people interested in the Devotti boat.
