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 http://www.sailmelbourne.com.au/news/newsitem.html?news_id=2 757 |

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 Edited by JimC |

12s actualy have a 45kg minimum weight which doesnt include that hefty bowsprit 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 |
