Welcome to the Blaze Class Association

The Blaze is a fast, fun and exciting performance racing dinghy.

Alongside the smaller 'Fire' and larger 'Halo' sail options (set on the same hull and spars) the Blaze platform offers racing and cruising for all weights and sizes to experience the grin-factor Blaze sailors have been enjoying for decades.

The Blaze Class Association exists to assist the development, promotion and organising of Blaze sailing. If you're interested in the Blaze as a newcomer, this website is the place to start. Here we showcase the Blaze and our growing community, as well as providing a hub for information and news.

Please consider becoming a member of the Blaze Class Association which entitles you to sail at any Blaze Class Association organised events (see below for the full 2025 programme) and welcomes you into our friendly, vibrant community. It also opens-up access to members-only resources on this site.
Join the Class Association here.

Please take some time to browse our site to see what we're all about. Or grab a coffee and enjoy the Blaze gallery below.

Happy Blazing!
