	I thought it must be wrong, it's the number quoted on the Noble Dinghy Database. What is the size of rig on a new rules Cherub? The Noble DDB says 15.5M2 upwind plus 21M2 kite (virtually identical to the Spice but over a 50kg 12' hull as opposed to the 85kg 14' Spice). I'd have thought the Cherub a significantly faster boat than Spice (much as I love my Spice) even in it's older spec. The Spice is on Noble DDB at 930 which I think is pretty impossible to achieve, in non-planing conditions it may keep up with the much more 'skiffy' Cherub but in a blow, not a chance. And, of course, in the lighter stuff the trad boats have the upper hand (especially upwind in big chop where the Spice is just a dumpy 14 ft boat).
