	If you can extend your budget a bit, the RS800 might be worth look, seen some older ones come up for £3500(ish) lately. Prices may drop further if the market direction swins more towards the 29erXX....

	Have a think about a B14.........you DON'T need traps to go fast. There are plenty great buys on the class website plus the worlds are in the UK next year.

	You found a cherub for sale in canada?! There is a very nice cherub for sale on ebay at the moment as Rupert very rightly says, but it would not really be suitable for twin wiring. It may be an old boat but I think you would be greatly suprised by the performance compared to your Laser 2... I went from a laser 2 to a cherub and definitely crapped myself on the first sail! Ah, how much are you looking to spend and where are you based? I will try and sort you out a test sail. Edited by timnoyce

	I didnt even know any cherubs had made it to canada! could you let us know where you found the boat? sure there would be quite a few people in the class interested to know. A lightweight twin trapeze dinghy though? there really is only one choice. The only issue is that cherubs are very hard to find secondhand at the moment... Eggbert the Nasty is the only boat I know of for sale ad as tim says: its a pretty old boat and wooden but beutifully restored and a perfect entry to single wire cherubing while you look out for a newer boat. http://www.uk-cherub.org Edited by Isis
