70 kgs is a bit light for the 300 big rig unless you're very fit/good, (tho I think they've changed the rules so you don't have to use the small rig at that weight), and I always got the impression that the Blaze needed about the same weight as the 300. I may be wrong, but maybe one of the singlehanders aimed at lightweights would be better? I'm thinking Laser rad, streaker, Byte, or maybe a Solo with a wavelength rig. It can be pretty miserable overpowered in a singlehander, believe me! Don't get me wrong, the Blaze looks lovely, but the rig looks pretty powerful. Depends where you sail, of course, if you're on a lake or the open sea... Edited by Rob.e |

this is true, but it can also be fantastic fun, and sometimes a bit of an advantage! i sailed a laser full rig for a season when i was 13, weighing in at about 55-60kg, its sprisingly easy to win in light winds. lol. just hard upwid in a f5!!! |

If he has some previous sailing experience, how about a low rider moth? there's a guy at my club in that sort of age group that campaigns a moth and an IC!

A few 300's advertised from £1,900 to £3K on RS300.com. Rob.e - you know you want to! By the way your old B rig mast is still going stong Rules have changed - any weight can sail any rig but you can only change rigs once a year. Dics |
