Ah, right, so that makes a Fireball a 13 footer, then? Likewise the GP 14?

Never mind, I'm only teasing.

yeh, the waterline length, I have been taught thats the bit where the boat is in the water, so it might be 12ft, seeing as the stem transom thing u say is 12ft. Funny that...

Its a rudder gantry, and no its not detatchable. The hull is 12ft long, how can that not be 12ft? The snout is 1ft, and the gantry is 1ft, waterline length = 12ft

Looks great, so long as you're planing. I like the idea of carrying the chines right forward.

But when is a 12 foot boat not a 12 foot boat? When it's a Cherub, apparently. Is that a rudder gantry and is it detachable?

 thats the Raylle

thats a fettled XSi (non std wheels)

 

Tack'ho,  i didnt say they marketed the whole range for women but the car was designed for women as stated before hence the smaller pedals and offset,  The 106 xsi didnt have power steering because when it was launched in 95 (i think) power steering was not common place in small cars.  The ralley however was designed to be light weight hence no electrics power steering etc.
