No flow, what?! - dose hard chines aid extra speed! So you dont like cherubs, you dont like I14's, I take it you dont like 18footers, so u must also hate 12ft skiffs.................... Hang on - you hate EVERY development class! |

no offence to anyone but in my opinion the cherub does look kinda boxy whereas the 29er has a fantastic shape and only lacks sail so 29erx should be good fun

i have sailed a cherub and a 29er, there is nothing you can do to a 29er except toally redesign it that would make it as good as a cherub.

But andy what happened at the student nationals in weymouth in november chap tehe I kinda remember how poor she was sailing upwind compared with the rest of the fleet but having said that i was in a firefly lol Only kiddin, i had my first sail in a performance boat in andys cherub up 't' north in the cold of winter. It was great fun, but alot of sailors like to buy these of the shelf boats as you call em. Alot of people arnt into tweeking and modifying, its not just about going as fast as you can. Its about getting round a course. |

I think talking about insurance and boat suppliers prices is opening a can of worms in reality. No much how much we discuss it, nothing will change. I'm thinking about shopping about on my policy next season because over 4 years I've put in one claim and had 50% surcharge added to my premium, which ammounts to more than they were paying out in the first place. You can't deny insurance premiums for High Performance boats are sky high, but I suppose it comes with the teritory and at the end of the day the companies have to stay in business. It does get scary when you are looking at a four figure insurance premium if you put in one claim within the next season though. Edited by 49erGBR735HSC |
