Or you could get a jet ski, they're quick. Their owners are often quite annoying as well. |

Righty only a little bit of banter and was there any mention of straightline speed? Nope!

When did I mention flat out speed being important to me? I think you have the wrong end of a very short stick. You sound like a confused little boy. |

I think you might need your ears cleaning out then. If you think the 4000 isn't quick enough, either the Cherub handicap is laughably inaccurate, or your not talking about speed round a course (the implication being that you are talking about straight line speed). |

the official PY is 975.
4k PY is 908. so how about you cut the sarcy tinner and just give some recognition to some other boats for once |

If I_luv_White is reading, would you care to let the forum know what you sail off at your club compared to the official figure? |

Is your reading really as bad your arguing? My post is saying that 4ks are much faster! It can clearly be seen from that 'oh so reliable' PY system... |

Better than your writing. Okay, okay. I call a truce. You must admit the 4k isn't bad, or slow. I'll admit the Cherub offers something that most other boats don't. One doesn't appeal to you, the other doesn't appeal to me. BTW, even if the Cherub is actually faster now, was that the case 5 years ago? Genuine question. |

Most Cherubs are still using the same rules as 5yrs ago (97 rules: 12.5sqm working sails, and 15sqm kite), but 5yrs ago we were only single trapeze. Upwind we would struggle, but if we met a 4k at the top of the hill we would smoke it downwind. Also very dependant on wind strength. Cherubs will fly once they get on the plane, but are LOADS slower in sub-planing conditions.
