Published 20:19 on 12 Aug 2025
We're excited to announce that the club now has a Club Blaze available for members to use!
This is a fantastic addition to our club fleetideal for anyone looking to get involved in the Medium Handicap racing fleet, or simply enjoy a fun and fast sail. The Blaze is one of the quicker boats in the Medium Fleet, yet remains relatively forgiving and accessible for a wide range of sailors.
LOSSC will be hosting the Blaze National Championships next year, so now is a great time to give the boat a try if you've ever been tempted to join the fleet!
Our regular Blaze sailors will be happy to share tips and answer any questionsjust catch one of them in the dinghy park.
A few key points:
· The boat is an older model, but perfect for getting people out on the water.
· We're currently looking for a 'Fire' sail (a reduced-size rig) for lighter helms or windier conditions, but the Blaze already has a wide competitive weight range.
· It will be available to book via the club website under "Book Online > Boat Hire" starting this Saturday (16th) for a small maintenance fee.
· Usual club rules apply, but we may allow some more flexibility to competent sailors looking to take it out in competitive sailing conditions, at the Duty Committee members' discretion.
If you're considering buying your own Blaze, there are plenty on the market to suit all budgets (check out Apolloduck), and we've got a friendly home fleet ready to welcome new owners.
