You are faster upwind, slower downwind. End of.

 

Not much mate not much and around a course much quicker!



Challenge?

Because your boat wont be anyway near 50kg now and because it is much much quicker then a cherub!

 

Yeah tom wouldnt mind giving you ago round a course mate, we wanted to come to Draycote when you were there, but had prior engagements!  Only thing is we need to get our no1 main fixed first!  Ross if you want to bring your boat along as well feel free and we will show you why to sail a 14 over a cherub!

I'm up for that. Sounds good, the boat is in for a refit at the moment, and all sails are with me to be mended but I'm sure we can sort something next season.
