Those were my exact words just before we tipped Flat Stanley over for the first (and only) time. I picked up Flat Stanley on Friday, and took him out for a blast today in South Shields  . We didn't fly the spinnaker as we were just getting used to the boat, but next weekend we'll have a go. Everyone should go and buy a Cherub. The dimensions of fun are:
3.7 meters long,
1.8 meters wide,
7 meters tall.

PS: I won the Scout Nationals (under 18's fast handicap)

Well Ross, now you have the scout title under your belt you can come to the 3k nationals and win that too!  With all that cherub experience you'll have ... it should be a doddle .

Take it you found a kite then.
