Nope - it originates from the burgee of the founding club (Dovey Sailing club) and represents the legendary bells of Aberdovey.

Fair enough. Must have been synchronicity for Bell then. I wonder if that encouraged them to sell the things? Its interesting how stories get about. There was a long standing rumour about the Cherub getting its name because the first owners' wife said "I don't know what class it is, but its a little cherub to sail". Nice story, but when I researched the history I found that
So the story was 100% myth! Edited by JimC |
