Just posted this to the women's skiff forum, but just noticed the GT60 thread here, so posting here too:
I sailed the GT60 Cherub on its maiden sail last week, on a pond just outside Ipswich. I'll be writing about it in the next edition of Roll Tacks in the magazine. Meanwhile here are some photos: http://www.sailingtalk.com/GT60-launch-photos.html and a couple of videos I took during the day: http://www.sailingtalk.com/GT60-video.html cheers Andy |

God Andy I am very jealous, what a nice looking UK Cherub. She looks a beaut to sail. I'm afraid to say she knocks the Daemon into a cocked hat just in looks alone. I don't know you spend 4/5 years? as publicity officer for the class and this all happens when you leave! It's like buses loads always come along at ounce. |

its not a cherub is it? it is more a 14 cause of the hull shape but can be converted in true cherub design to cherub rules. it still looks good tho |

From what I can see the conversion to a Cherub consists of gluing a corner onto the bottom of the bow.

Err it's a Cherub. Read the report / reports. Ask the owner. It's a Cherub. The only thing that currently precludes it from being a Cherub is the interpritation of the bow stem meassurment, which to be honest, quite a few of the current UK Cherubs skate on thin ice with.
Just like the boat I used to sail which was based on a N12 Phil Morrison Big Issue, it to was a Cherub and not a N12. |

Looks really nice, I cannot beleive how far back that t foil allows them to be in basically naff all wind. Highly impressive. I'm trying to work out from the pix if the sails are 100% identical to the Daemon...if not they are very close! |
