hi there, as you probably know the cherub class hold blasting days and have recently had one in weymouth. There isn't another one planned for a while i don't think but i'd say your best bet is to email the class association on their website. If not then I know that there are a lot of cherub sailors that read these forums so if you give us your location we could find someone close that would more than likely take you out for a sail. I am based in Nottingham at the moment and would be willing to take you out in my freakishly painted beast if you could make it up here but there are people based all round the country so i'm sure someone may be closer. ------------- http://www.facebook.com/bearfootdesign - BEARFOOT DESIGN Cherub 2648 - Comfortably Numb |

Where are you? If you have a look on the cherub site http://www.sailingsource/cherub - http://www.sailingsource/cherub in the tech support section there are contacts in different areas that you can try. Or look out for a blasting day there was one recently at castle cove ------------- If it doesn't break it's too heavy; if it does it wasn't built right |

Hi Kasey, I think you emailed me earlier today about a test sail. What are you doing this weekend? I'm working so Will is at a loose end. What about Grafham? We will be holding more blasting days in the summer, just haven't fixed the dates/venues yet Lucy ------------- Fly Cherub! |
