Or to the RS600...

the 600 was mortally wounded by the MPS, the 700 gave it an honourable death.  

Some folks decided to stick some foils on the carcass... this is hardly the same thing as a vibrant, but small development class experimenting with foils and seeing where it might take them.

There are 3 or 4 Cherubs at Chew, but the club doesn't allow foiling boats (or cats). It would be a shame if they had to move away to sail.

Very impressive. If that's the first time out that thing is going to be quick once it gets sorted. 

BUT...is it good for the class? It's already a bit fragmented with pre 97 and post 97 hulls, running pre 2005 and post 2005 rigs, with single or twin wires, t foils or not...it would be a shame in some ways if the foils were proven to be quicker, and suddenly half the fleet or more adopt them. Could that be the end of the Cherub as we know it...let's face it not many people aspire to sail a lowrider Moth any more?

But hats off for having a go and seemingly getting it to work too!
