The purple one last year would have been Primal Scream but I thought it was still in grey primer at the show?

We have another brand new boat on the stand this year still being built as we speak... Atum Bom... just watch out where you put your hands, the paint will probibly still be wet!

  Windsurf start then Jim !

 I was admiring the Cherub on the stand at the dinghy show last year, and just made a polite enquiry.  I could see that the bloke didn't want to p**s me off totally (being surprised at my interest) so I suggested one for both feet.  Unfortunately I don't think he saw the funny side, bless him.  But you can't fault the enthusiasm and it did look the dogs nadgers. It was purple I think ?

Saw probably less than 20st in a Javelin at the SGP 2 years ago, they did ok considering how young they both were.

At least it wouldn't sink.......

you are right of course that the modern assy is an entirely different beast to those used by thames barges etc. I was just teasing, as i'm sure you realise. I don't think a barge will have ever sailed to the apparent wind in the sense that modern fast dinghies do.  Though my dad has said that he's sailed barges at around 14 knots, that must have been pretty impressive!

Nevertheless, Rogerd makes a good point that some classes that are sometimes referred to as classic or heritage, such as the fastsail classes, are highly developed (within class rules of course) thoroughbred racing dinghies.



Jeepers, 14 knots in a Thames Barge would be even more terrifying than impressive!

Totally agree that many of the older classes are very efficient. In many ways (like speed for sail area rather than speed for length) some of them more efficient than many newer boats.
