I am not sure if the boxy shape is much better underpowered, I you look at the R-Class boats which are similar to Cherubs in area, they have all headed down the Woof path. However that may be due to the availability of the Woof mould rather than having to build a new boat. But who knows.

I think part of the reason for the more rounded hulls and wide flairs of the 12's and R's is the large Kites set on long poles. The large kite moves the center of effort forward resulting in alot of lee helm, the boats have to sail down wind heeled over to neutralise that and so need a hull shape that tollerates a bit of heel. The larger Cherub Kites |

If it doesn't break it's too heavy; if it does it wasn't built right

One difference between R's and cherubs though is the fact that R's come from a very windy country and UK Cherubs don't on the whole, so the R's whilst having about the same white sail area spend much more time fully powered...

The Uk wind is surprisingly light on average, so maybe the current UK cherubs with flat hulls will still have a speed advantage over the ( easier to sail ) shapes with more round or rise of floor - and perhaps be even faster relatively in non-overpowered conditions. |

The 12f oot skiff comes from New Zealand i think and there is no specific number of trapeze or anything like that because it is a developement class which means you change the boat to your spec................
