Strictly speaking Simon was not yet a professional builder when he put that one together.

LATEST UPDATE

This boat was professionally built by Simon Baker at Biffa Boats.

And it is definately made of foam, not ply.

IT'S OFFICIAL

Cherub 2638 - "Utter Madness"
This is the second of the Fartpants. Built in 1989. The First "Narrow Flat" design, the Fartpants was something of a step forward as the first UK design that really kept up with the ex Worlds winner Flat Stanley in the majority of conditions. Slightly hollow V bow, low rise of floor, narrow beam, very flat floor with lots of turnup to chines, slight negative rocker aft.

The class has officially given this boat the thumbs up. It's a decent design, comes with loads of equipment, and would be a fantastic first Cherub! The class also believes that this boat is made of foam, not ply.

As far as I could see, 5 people had a Cherub in their Dream 10 boat park, who don't currently own one. So what a chance to own your dream boat

Any potential Cherubers get bidding!

BARGAIN

From what I can see in those tiny pictures, it looks quite like it must be composite to me. In the second pic look at the inside of the gunwales.

Alsoe look at the moulding around the space frame where it meets the gunwales.

It isnt an italian bistro, as the owner thinks in the ad

we think its a Fartpants, and that seems to match with the seller and sail number but in that case its foam sandwich, not ply as stated in the ad and thats not something too easily confused
