It would also cure the same issue with the Blaze as well, still agree with me now? ;-)

I doubt the Blaze could suffer from not being identified correectly ! ... even at the Royal Torbay. We even found you drooling over the Blaze again, this time at the Hartley stand a week or two ago and of course you do recognise the boat.... |

You did indeed and I'd just been talking to them about making it and or the Contender down to a weight that I could move about without getting a hernia (< 50kgs)in and fitting a trapeze to. Then I really would have been drooling. ------------- https://www.ease-distribution.com/" rel="nofollow - https://www.ease-distribution.com/ |

All you have to do ... is take the wings off and leave correctors out ! It is pretty light anyway.... and could beat 50K as it stands ... But we think you might still like a bit of leverage really....  |

Just give him the carbon wings you designed for the Fire, a trapeze and a Halo rig, that should get the Blaze XXX handicap under 900 Or we could just suggest he buys another RS600........ ------------- Spice 346 "Flat Broke" Blaze 671 "supersonic soap dish" |

Sounds good to me!! What's this about the "carbon wings you designed for the Fire"?? RS600 - with that leech??!! Isn't that why/how the Blaze X came about? |

Mike will be able to give a proper answer but I believe the prototype Blaze Fire had a smaller sail (which has been adopted) and narrower one piece carbon wings (which haven't) on an otherwise standard Blaze hull and rig. As an older sailor at the lighter end of the Blaze range I can testify that the Fire sail is very nice indeed.
