Topper Spice

   I also have a Early 90's rules set up at the moment so that equates to
a handicap of about 1050 and even that's certainly not shy of going
warp speed off the wind!!

	I was a little dubious of the fact that any boat i bought would soon become outdated and therefore be obsolete, but i think that it is quite the opposite. I have recently bought my first cherub (and first boat) which is a 15 year old cherub and am already blown away by the performance. All the seperate rule changes have different handicaps so if you're not class racing you can have a handicap which suits your boat, (unlike a 15 year old laser which has to compete on a level playing field with a brand new laser). I realise that the cherub is not everyones cup of tea as they have a reputation for being held together with ductape etc but you become much more attached to your boat if you have had something to do with building it! Less excuses after coming off the water if you're trying to blame the idiot that made it if it's in fact you! (but don't forget about the new RMW cherub which will be on the "shelves" soon )
