Loving the colour scheme on your boat `Muppet
![]() I've only sailed a topaz a few tomes .. about 3 years back in Norfolk on the broads. We seemed to be going quite well, and were chasing down yachts etc that were on the same broad as us! They were basically my introduction to "faster" sailing (after sailing oppies / toppers for the previous few days, and wayfarers for about a year before that in light wind) Of course, it would have probably felt faster than it was ... I was 14 at the time! |

way to the chippy

well .. its not always about "cherubing" things up you know?
I don't know what makes Cherub sailors think they are all high and mighty (Godlike even?) and why you always feel the need to belittle other sailors.
Yes, many of us sail on small lakes or even smaller ponds, But personally, I beleive thats where the best sailing is to be had! Light, shifty winds keeping the fleet close, and short legs to make it more tactical seems so much more fun than a 2 mile long beat, and the fleet getting spread out over the course! Also, Yes, your capsises may send you flying over the mast, but most "normal" sailors (ones i know at least) are a bit more careful when it comes to their boats, and probably wouldnt want to go flying head-first through a sail, or into the mast at speed. Now PLEASE stop with all this "cherubs are better than everyone else" rubbish. Edited by Villan |

That is a general complaint to / about all cherub'ers on these forums (or at least the active ones)
{edit} i've never seen someone thrown from a moth so hard they clear the mast. Edited by Villan |
