I think Mick T took a few photos, I'll ask him if any on the water shots are worthy of passing on......  Will

Went out in my new Mk IV Osprey on Saturday (it was delivered late Friday). How nice to get a new boat that you can sail immediately without having to sort out miriad strings and things first. A really Good Effort by Hartley Laminates and Tim Rush.

Very nice it was too. Winds 12-15 mph Saturday and 10-12 Sunday, pretty cold but sunny, nice little chop and some salty spray, aah that's the life! Boat seemed responsive, and quick to accelerate. Looking forward to trying it against other Ospreys soon...   Will

try putting 20 in an osprey



Saw probably less than 20st in a Javelin at the SGP 2 years ago, they did ok considering how young they both were.

At least it wouldn't sink......We sailed Jav for two years with only 20 1/2 stone and combined age 113. Somtimes very difficult. and it did sink! Javs do!

There was reference to 20 stone in an Osprey in an earlier post. In 1986 there were 76 Boats at our Nationals and it blew Force 6 all week. The fourth boat overall was driven by a team with an all up weight of 19 Stone.

Yes Ospreys take Big boys but are not solely for big boys

very true. well that ios what the winter is used for in the cherub world.  they seem to destroy a perfectly good boat and change it a tini bit.  but hoprfully the boat on the cherub stand will look cool

Can a Cherub ever truly be considered as finished? LOL
