It was mainly crew finding putting me off the 9er. You can't really just take a person out for an odd spin unless its light wind or they sailed one before. You really need a permanent crew which has been proving hard to do because no one lives near! They have tried it but soon the petrol prices have stopped them.
This one lives a lot closer, so fingers crossed! |

Sometimes you just grow to like a boat as you learn to sail it better. A little patience is required, as performance doesn't always come immediately. |

Yes, he has sailed a Cherub and in keeping with stereotype it was slow, cramped and fell apart.
But I digress. Ultimately only one person can decide which way to go, and that is you. Whether that comes from endless interwebnetandthat discussion, or by buying lots of boats, that is another question. Edited by Lukepiewalker |

Alex, have you sailed a Cherub? I think you would be surprised. Chris, sounds like a plan. Just get out on the water and go sailing!

If you can't carry it, don't sail it! |
