Right! Major update specially for you then B.N.S!! Okay, we started off looking at modifying a topper for a bit of a laugh, but being clever kids Hey - question here, could we enter for the cherub races even if there were three in a boat??! |

You guys seem to be talking a lot about that crazy idea of yours... but I've got to admit I can't remember WHAT you want to build exactly. When you're finished, are you going to embark on a grand tour of the UK, just to show other forum members that you actually mean to create something?? |

Yeah, team beef, we would have done that only I have a topper!!! Well, maybe once I've learnt a lot from the cherub, and a really cheapie topper comes on the market then I might try a little converting of my own!! But no worries, my sailory friends frank n ed - I'd never desert you!! Hey, I'm not coming down tomorrow, but I'm doing junior july (oooh get me!! |

Hasnt anyone thought of doing this to a laser because theyre quite similar price second hand for a trashed one and also have a beefier rig on them, so they could create more lift with the increased speed, and they dont weigh too much do they? if anything less than a topper so it would be a much better boat to do it with wouldnt it?

we realised it wouldn't work (and lots of people said it wouldn't) so we thought we would modify a cherub if we could find one cheap enough!! We found a grand-dad's boat for £200 or so, but the owner recommended another boat for £150 with some trendy bits on it so we're going to try and go for that one! It'll be fairly good to sail too, cos there's three of us but we're pretty small!!! 
Any hope for a brief summary and update of work in progress?
