Originally posted by Iain C Looks really nice, I cannot beleive how far back that t foil allows them to be in basically naff all wind.  Highly impressive. I'm trying to work out from the pix if the sails are 100% identical to the Daemon...if not they are very close!

I don't think the sails are even close Iain. Although I did think the leech was dog legged at one point so what do I know!

When will the boats 1st race each other?

Theoretically the Cherubs could be racing each other in Hyeres right now at the Evaluation Trial. All the triallists are sailing round the same track, but I hear that the organisers have avoided running any races. So it's hard to draw comparisons at this stage. I guess the real proof will come at the Cherub open meetings and the Nationals in the UK this summer. One thing is for sure, these new Cherubs will put the class in a different league.

Oh you never know me and Ben might come back and give them a run for there money

What is the point of a trials with no races - are they afraid of what they may find out.

Of course they need different tests to evaluate the boats but no races is jusy plain daft ...

Perhaps they have already selected the winner and don't wish to deal with the inconvenience of the chosen class not winning.

Here is some history on the last evaluation event that ISAF held.

I have a copy of the event report from a French magazine which has all the race results.
