I14

Well everyone is entitiled to their opinion, so fair enough. But when Alex is making false claims about the boat in which he is selling, that is when I start picking at things.

Well lets not resort to petty insults now. Well to be fair thats what most people on this forum do, so im kinda used to reading it. Read my above post, I said everyone is entitled to their opinion, so let's not go around saying people are bang out wrong now shall we.

Problem is, sailing isn't always sailed in consistent, perfect breeze so every situation needs to be taken into account. Im just saying that your claim to 'every 800 you sailed against, you've beaten them' is slightly incorrect.

Apart from Ronin (the GT60) which beat all the 14's but one.

Why doesent someone orgainise a Skiff Off during the summer. Get each class to send representatives and finally get some answers and video footage to backup peoples claims.

To the best of my knowledge it is now. They added the 25 grams of carbon on the bottom of the stem that made it not a Cherub last year. Its absence was more to do with marketing image than performance I suspect. It looks to be a pretty nice Cherub, and I'd expect it to be especially strong in moderate and suicide conditions.

When comparing boats you have to remember that the difference in performance between the top sailors in fleet and the beginners is usually equivalent to about 200 points of PY (more with foil Moths!). The difference between ideal conditions for one class and another might be worth another 200 points one way or the other in different conditions (again more with foil Moths!!). So if you see X overtaking Y one day is probably means **** all!
