Good point Straw. The class champion a couple fo years back (a member of my local club) was sailing a very old boat that he pick up for very little money. His sail was new at the time but he didn't pay for it (it was a development sail).

He has now retired his old boat for one of the new breed of plastic Moths but the old boat it still about and well underweight.

How about a £600 Laser, then £400 on a new sail? I'm sure someone with the necessary skills could still win the Laser nats in such a boat

Steve Irish's performance in Suicide Blonde at the Draycote open was streaks ahead of almost everyone else I've seen in Cherubs. I think he could win the Cherub nats in a boat costing less than a grand.

If a very good sailor selects a weak class I am sure they would wind in pretty much anything ... the skill is picking the weak class; but then what pleasure is there in that.

More rewarding to have a go at a stronger class.

...or look at the big picture and try and build a class up. It depends if you like sailing simply for the point of winning or sailing to meet similar like minded people who you can be genuine friends with on and off the water.

Doubt Ben Ainsley and Mr sh*te went out for beers much after sailing back in the laser days...

I don't think it's very fair to describe the Cherub class as "weak", just Steve is immensely good. He is totally dominant in 800s aswell, and I wouldn't call that a "weak" class either.

i think the point rick is tring to make is that steve went into an boat he hadnt sailed much and whopped all of u.   and 19boats at the nats, i would call it a weak class, we all love u guys but ur enthusiaum is a little overpowering at times.
