maybe not a forum but an interview may be.or any outher boat builders out there. p.s not to go off the subject completely but what is the sudden obsession with cheubs l8ly. i have never had a go of one so i cnt comment too much but it seems like alot of money. if i knew how to build one i would probibly give it a go. how much do plans for one cost anyway. they look fun but with it being a total development class it would mean constantly adjusting things to keep competative. oh byt the way would any other boat builder care to maybe join in with this article
maybe theres more to life than being really really really really..........really good looking

The myth of having to spend vast amounts on money to remain in a development fleet is on the whole totaly unfounded. There is a bit of an arms race in the 14s which seemed to kick off when they hit the US big time but with the cherubs, and to an extent the moths and a number of other classes the spirit of the class survives and home building and inovation is encouraged which means they can be surprisingly cheep to run.

Plans can be bought from http://www.bloodaxeboats.co.uk and a number of moulds are available if you speak to the designers

If anyones thinking of building, they could make the important choices, like budget, and what class... then ask this forum. I don't doubt there are many experienced builders lurking around here.

i think it would be great for y&y to do an article on boat building. it might incourage people to build newer boats or maybe even design some completely different classes. failing this it would certainly be interesting and would definetly help with maintenance.
