Very impressive. If that's the first time out that thing is going to be quick once it gets sorted.
BUT...is it good for the class? It's already a bit fragmented with pre 97 and post 97 hulls, running pre 2005 and post 2005 rigs, with single or twin wires, t foils or not...it would be a shame in some ways if the foils were proven to be quicker, and suddenly half the fleet or more adopt them. Could that be the end of the Cherub as we know it...let's face it not many people aspire to sail a lowrider Moth any more? But hats off for having a go and seemingly getting it to work too!

yes, it's good for the class... it could become the two person Moth and I'm sure the attitude of the guys in the class would ensure they spread the love into the older category boats when it comes to prizes at nationals etc.

It didn't seem to have a positive impact when the R Class went foiling... |
