I also saw you had loadsa offers for your mast on ebay. Quality bit of kit....

Now back in your corner son, and think about what you've done!

I think you can leave the cherub class out of this. We're not all as hot tempered as Stuberry

just read all that stuberry, errm... crew is now sorted in the form of tris and tim (lost in space) with his big kite  but there may still be the chance for a blast outside of racing

hmmm.....I'm keeping out of the cherub argument!

but back to the original thread.....

If you weigh about 120kg....I would highly consider a laser4000.

You would just be on the weight chart, and I know that you can buy them for around £1600 if you get an older one...but the older ones are still as quick if they are in good condition....4015 is still one of the quickest!!!

They have a good circuit, friendly sailors(who don't argue about petty little things), great py for club racing.... all round it's a very good boat, ok it isn't the lighest/fastest boat in the world....py of 908....but at least you can sail it in pretty much all wind conditions!

The laser5000 is also a great boat, I've never sailed one - but they look pretty cool on the water....and you can pick them up extremely cheap...with tons and tons of spares!

If you're anywhere near Grafham SC....we're having a fun day on May 6th to celebrate the clubs 40th bday, some club memebers are gonna be giving test sails on their boats.....why don't you pop up and we'll see if we can get you a go on several different boats!

There's a 4000 on the class website for £750 I think, if you're interested in one.

These L4ks have gotten seriously good value. 

Looks like competition from the RS800 has knocked their price right down and £2500 will get a whole working one - which is as cheap or cheaper than the L3k!

But £750?? I paid more than that for a shot laser 1.  Does it float dyouthink?

met them at the weekend Pierre- actually there a very friendly bunch, perhaps I can raise the stakes a little by saying that if it's true equality you crave (i.e. the classic SMOD defence line), then you need a little liberty and fraternity too- judging from the way all the cherub guys pitched in to help each other out, exchange ideas and get their boats on the water when every other bugg€r was running for cover from the rain and wind; there's plenty of old fashioned spirit & determination in their fleet.


Absolutely TT. Vive la Revolution....   Good on 'em.  The Cherub is a fun boat, and having seen the paint jobs, they are all colour blind 

People run mile when they see me approaching shore .....  but hey, everybody deserves a hernia at some stage in their lives.
