you could always pack the uk cherubs in a container and come on down. Sure you could organise to pick up some big rigs while you are here.

the next really big regatta is january 2007 in geelong

There is one effective 12 in the UK, a converted Cherub with a No2 12 rig from Fyfe in NZ. Nothing with a full size rig though. Its a gloriously fun boat to sail although not my personal taste for every week.

Go to fotoboat, look up[ the Cherub class page, go to the 2004 Nationals/Moth Eurpeans page and its the second from the left on the top row of the first page

12s actualy have a 45kg minimum weight which doesnt include that hefty bowsprit
Cherubs are 50kg but DO include the bowsprit and thier rigs weigh a lot less so theres not much difference at all

Bowsprits weigh about 1.5- 2kgs,  masts weigh about 8-10 kgs so still about 3-4 kgs lighter, but that deosn't seem to make a huge difference, Riggin rolling over takes no more than 15 minutes on your side
