Not a question of speed, my Caws sails have always come when promised, its a question of length of waiting list. Having a long waiting list probably says something about the product... |

That's probably true, but not much help if want / need some sails before the summer is up. Andy P said he couldn't get his till after the nationals when he asked quite a while back. |

I / we don't but I know of at least one person that may need a crew for Weston, join the class email list that you can find on the cherub class site: http:// www.sailingsource.com/cherub/chframe.php and ask on there, i will drop your name to a mate and see if he is still going. As his daughter has just broken here finger playing volley ball! |

What sort of weight do UK cherubs look for?? I sailed in the cherub australian nationals over christmas (i usually sail a 16ft skiff, but i used to own a cherub) but because i currently weigh in at around 90kg, the boat was a dog.... i should imagine with the bigger sails that the UK cherubs are looking for more weight?? |

Well obviously you can tune your rig for your own requirements,
lightweights more flexible top sections e.t.c and vice versa for the heavies.... but the average for the fleet is about 20 stone or 140 kg... in fact we have just done a fleet survey and 31% are 130-kg to 140-kg and 25% are 140-kg to 150-kg. We thought very carefully about the new rig size / and 2nd string and were / are determined not to push ourselves in to a different market. And alter the feel of the boat. Hence the mast cap and sail sizes. Sounds like you need a nice wee girly at the sharp end and then you'll get your heart racing again! |

It would make more sence to put the wee girly at the blunt end. If you set the boat up so that the crew does the main up wind then they are doing all the heavy work, e.g. hoisting sheeting and droping the kite along with the main. The helm is just doing the steering and main down wind so does not need much brawn. I weigh 85Kg and get on fine in a UK cherub |

If it doesn't break it's too heavy; if it does it wasn't built right
