Yeah Villan,

I'm with you on this but before this degenerates it a flame-war, what cars do the chreubers/mothies drive or would want to drive??

" That is a general complaint to / about all cherub'ers on these forums (or at least the active ones)"

I think that you are throwing all of the cherub sailors into one big group there buddy. As far as i was aware buying a cherub didn't change me as a person, I'd have these views whatever I sailed. In the last few years I've sailed a whole range of boats and enjoyed pretty much every minute of it. I try and be constructive with all of my posts rather than simply jumping on the band wagon.

ay ay calm down Villan!   i think you should have a nice cup of tea and go to bed for an early night .  And erm....while we're on the topic, i hate sailing on ponds and feel restricted to the point of chlostrophobia!  The saddest thing going is to own a cruiser on one of those lakes........
"erm where sahall we sail today"?
"how about to the other side"?
"we did that yesterday"
"oh yeah.........well lets do it again"

{edit}  i've never seen someone thrown from a moth so hard they clear the mast.

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.
