As well as this i think it has a 600 mast that comes with it which if i'm correct was donated by the trims to the cherub class and is being borrowed by isis?

I do't know what you intended it to be, but from here it read more like a rather silly crack than an opinion intended to be helpful...

 

It was an opinion of mine which i think i backed up very well, Thew original question was what do you think?  And i answered !  it was a posting on an open forum!

The Kipper is a seriously well sorted boat that is in really, really nice condition.  It was also annoyingly fast at the nationals regardless of wind conditions and would make an excellent buy.

In actual fact the only reason not to buy it would be to buy Suicide Blonde instead (sorry for the plug Tom!! ) however that's a lot closer to a Penni 14 than the Kipper so probably not right for you and also I need her for the Nationals!

You will not be dissapointed with the Kipper, go for it!

I bought Sweet Dreams around a month ago, this also has a 97 rules rig.  The boat is still awesome though and well worth it.  I'd strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to try something a bit new and very silly. 

Its an awesome feeling when it jumps on the plane and nearly throws you out the back of the boat, also really good for winding up any ISO or RS400 sailors by reeling them in on the downwind legs.

HELL YER! Spot on bud! Thats the reaction you get from a 12ft boat!! I was in cherubs for yearrrrrs - even had a stint in a 49 and int moth, but came to the conclusion, you just cant beat a light weight 12ft boat! Sweet Dreams is a very nice boat and a gorgeous rig! Its always nice to show those SMODs whos boss on the downwind leg - still remember getting thrown off the back of Aqua during a very high acceleration!Soon tamed her. Still gota get my 12ft skiff tunned up now!

Come on lads - join the 12ft REVOLUTION!!!

Cherubs and 12's are the best in the world!

Ignore my user name, my views are of a 12ft skiff

You can't beat a lighter 11 foot boat though...
