If you can't carry it, don't sail it! |

On a 12 the mast is a fair bit further back, and they have more rocker too, so not quite as twitchy as a Cherub. However, when they decide that they're going to stop, they just do (and it hurts). Why would you want to not put the kite up though? Edited by Skiffybob |

2 sail reaching in any skiff in a blow is dodgy we have to be in back foot loops with the T-foil off just to stop bow from digging in the 14 |

Comparing Aqua with Havoc on a 2 sailer - Aqua ALOT wetter!! just sliced through the waves, havoc a little less moist but then goes BAM!! Cherubs slice the water then go, 12's, well, they just GO!

A two sail reach in a cherub is pretty scary and pretty nosey! I imagin 12 are similar |
