A boat he didn't know, but was at his home club, where most the Cherubs had never sailed before! And it wasn't exactly a whooping, most the fleet were there or there-abouts. The Cherub fleet is certainly not weak. It's the home of many of the countries top sail boat design minds, including VOR rig managers, and Olympic foil designers/builders. This has nothing to do with Cherub enthusiasm, my point was that Steve Irish would kick arse in any boat he stepped into, and yes, that does include the 4k fleet, which is a mere shadow of the fleet it used to be. Isn't the 4k fleet just full of Sunday drivers and annoying little chavs now? (Nothing against you Stefan or Redback...) Edited by Strawberry |

Reckon as it stands though, the UK 4K fleet is still one of the most competitive in the UK. A lot of guys have shifted class but there are still some of the best sailors I know racing the boats. As with all classes, there are varying abilities but to describe the fleet as "Sunday drivers and chavs" is totally unfounded, unfair and ignorant.

Well if that's what you think of the 4k fleet Stu, why don't you have the guts to say it to some of our faces? Some of us do actually know how to sail our boats....... |

well seeing as I wasnt actually on my boat when it broke....and the only reason it broke was beacuse the new shroud I had just put on snapped. That's just typical of your fleet...... pointless comments when you inferior to "real boat" sailors...... Edited by kasey3000 |
