Have a look at www.skiff.org.au - in the historical pics they have crews of 5 in 12 foot skiffs...

18 stone isn't even that light. I believe the average is about 20. Well, me and Joe weigh 20.

we can take it in turns to race but that would be funny to see and 3 person wire on a cherub (part of the crazy idea) me and frank are 18 stone all up or a bit over so i think that would be fine

Hey - question here, could we enter for the cherub races even if there were three in a boat??!

Well, it would be lovely to see you sailing but you aren't going to be winning races with three in a boat. Don't worry about being small: with an old-rules rig you will be very speedy in the light stuff if you are under 18stone all up, and perfectly able to control it in the windy stuff, especially if you fit another trapeze

Fly Cherub!
