Boss with Carbon Hull???

Originally posted by jeffers The Blaze weight ranges from flyweights down at around 65 all the way up to lardy (Phantom) boys at 100+. It has a very big weight range and is not a struggle even when the wind gets up (aside from slightly high sheet loads). The solution I think is to encourage the heavier Laser sailors (Solo Sailors and Supernova sailors) into a Phantom training camp. They will then be fed copious amounts of beer, pies and curry until they can hold a Phantom down..... Just my opinion. Still think it is a good little boat. Were it more established I would have bought one!

I think its a great boat and definitely fills agap between Phantom/Blaze and Solos etc.  I wish Andy and Kev all the best with it.

ex Solo and proud eh Olly.  I think they should do like the 59ers and minimum weight - Solos with minimum age!

solo sailors at our club get nothing but digs. Even from a guy who sailed an ent til he was 72. His exact words were 'I thought they went out with the arc'

I raced against 2 solutions this weekend at the Exmoor Beastie.  They look really nice, fast and light.  I don't think they are really aimed at the Blaze market, more like the - too small for a Phantom, don't want to be seen in a Solo - market.
