Hi Rupert
Drop into Burghfield again some time and have a go yourself – if it is breezy .. or if it light- it does not matter. Mike L. |

I like the distinctiveness of the names, and the concept of fitting the 3 sails to one mast/boom, though I'm amazed you have managed to get decent balance on all 3. The advantage of a centreboard, I guess, in that you can bring the CLR back when the wind picks up, and a mast that can be raked fore and aft.

That is a good looking sail and what (I think) is a nice looking boat.
At least the farmer is not dancing but sailing.... ![]() An Nessa, you would like the Blaze, lots of room under the boom, comfy to hike and very quick once it gets going. You probably wouldn't want a Halo rig (going by my experience with the boat).

You can get a bit more idea of the Halo2 design from this one. The top was intended and does 'blade off' when needed - apply a bit more cunningham etc. There is little/no tendancy however to 'hook' in the light stuff as in the pics....

Each to their own really ..... and we don't have any problem with how others want to organise themselves.

There is a lot of merit in that suggestion.

Mike, if you renamed Fire, Blaze and Halo as Blaze 8.9, Blaze 10.4 and Blaze 11.5 ...

Mike, if you renamed Fire, Blaze and Halo as Blaze 8.9, Blaze 10.4 and Blaze 11.5 respectively, some of your customers could get away with rig switching on a single entry in a series, just like Laser and RS Aero sailors
![]() Actually, your sailors would be on better moral ground than their Laser or RS brethren, in that you don't require the mast to be changed, just the sails...

Like a D One but without the kite?
No - we don't really think so ... But oh we do think that idea really should be tested for real ! perhaps a comparitive test can be arranged ..... ![]() Mike L. |
