I14

The bow has always been vertical - It was just initialy built with a small radius at the base to make a nice pretty curve rather than a sharp corner which didnt quite fit into the cherub rules specifying a minumum of 200mm of vertical stem. A bit of filler and some carbon after the hyeres trials and it got a cherub measurement certificate immediately.

On handicap that would be wrong!

The idea of a Skiff-Off would be interesting, I think the top 3 would be 1. 49er 2. 14 3. 800 George I accept your apology, however I am not sure what it is for. Your statement there is incorrect. A boat (say a certain 14) starts a race before another boat (say an 800), and then finishes the race behind the 800. So over the whole race, you're are going to tell me that the 14 was quicker, even though it is physically impossible for that to be so. Good luck with that.

Simsy,
Living up to your new found nob status once again. I admit some 800s slipped past but if you're continuously basing all you ideas about my boat on the bloody mary and not proper racing then good for you. But i know that in a proper race in chichester harbour in a good steady breeze not filled with all the rubbish air that was present at queen marys, that there would be no contest between my boat and your precious 800.
