HALO (and 'Fire') ....

So a Blaze can become a Halo simply by buying the Halo sail, everything else is the same?
Like a D One but without the kite?  In other words great for the pond and the D One can stay at Grafham which is it's natural habitat.

That sail looks really good.

	Burghfield has had an almost weed free year .... could have been the winter floods but the club did 'bomb' the lake a few months back with a blue dye that was intended to disrupt weed photosynthesis. Not a cheap answer in some respects but previously a lot of money was spend on cutting the bloody stuff anyway and that was only a partial solution. Whatever the reason - we have not had any real problem this year. Back to the photos .... the Halo2 sail took a hell of a long time to get 100% but it is very straightford, 'easy' to read and set-up and goes very nicely indeed. We could have released it earlier but you don't get to test in all conditons and with a wide variety of crews if you are under too much 'release' pressure. It is not really faster than the original Halo sail but it is a hell of a lot more practical in using the regular mast.... you just reduce the standard mast rake which takes a couple of minutes and away you go ....

	And now something for Peaky ... since he did ask. Taken earlier today in ... well what can we say, the sort of conditions that simply will not lodge in the memory in the 'do not delete' part for very long ...

	wouldn't you light yourself up on a pylon with something as high as a 49er mast? always makes me nervous how they buzz when you're near them at BSC

	I can (from personal experience) confirm that Burghfield is NOT a suitable puddle for your first go in your new 49er - that expansive 180 acres, suddenly feels like 170 acres of islands and 10 acres of water
