Sounds good to me! If you want this all year round, visit the cvrda! Well, for the spars bit, anyway.

Malcolm's Cherub was launched in 1984. Might have been before the 14, not sure at this distance. Rebel, as she was called in my day at least, certainly won a light airs Nationals at West Mersea in 1984, but boy, did she have a top speed problem. That's why she had no influence on subsequent Cherub design.

Hi Gents 
Did Malcom Jacques Cherub Lemon Drop come before the Howlet 1b. My memory says it was a Howlet design he had built with the aim of winning the light wind nationals at dabchicks.
Jim C may know as he is into Cherubs.
I sailed a Grace copy for many years, very fast upwind but slower down against the Kerwoods and later Rondars from Pauls era.
