LOLzZz, yea man. That is like sooooooo totally......amazingley.......badly typed, even by my standards.

I take it this is not a genuine opinion, as no-one can take you seriously if you completely fail to write in English. That and the fact that it's just plain wrong.

I don't really see how they are oppy like, and I have never heard anything about them being prone to brakages.

Why would you add more carbon to it?? Surely they would want minimum carbon to keep it light...

I'm not even a cherub person... What am I doing...

im just teasing i have no problem with the boats, hey ive sailed them before, just tryin to pull some legs. how they are oppy like..........they are 12 foot long and look like a coffin. I know two former cherub sailors, both with two views, one literally just added stuff here there and everywhere to his boat, the others boat was imaculate and quite honestly one of the best looking boats ive ever seen.

I don't really understand why everyone on this forum seems to hate cherubs. I have never sailed one but they look like really attractive well designed little boats too me.

The problem is that this thread isn't about cherubs, it's about altos....
