14's are just as cheap to repair as all the other skiffs, in fact i think they break less the 9ers, if you even breath on a 9er main you make a hole in itmy 14.5 stone on the 14 main, just a small tear (still usable)  Where does this crap come from??

Where do these stories come from? I've never owned a 14, but my Cherubs have always been very cheap to run over the long term. Petrol was always the biggest running cost.


I always thought you had an outboard on Halo.

Spice? gives you twin wires and fairly bigish rig and nice and easy to learn to twin wire from...  my all up crew weight averages between 21-23 stone depending on who crews for me

however the class is dead i admit that, no nationals/opens for them

and i sail
 it often on a smallish lake and just about get away with it as its not  an insanely fast boat but it still gives u a great feeling.(for me it does anyway)

and best thing is they are priced like a topper, and come with plenty of kit




*prepares for a beating*
