Aus Cherub Champs

Fantastic! Every class needs a video like that - top effort by the production team.

 

First video gives the impression it is all a case of roaring round the racetrack, second one...obviously not as straightforward as I might have thought.

 

Not too much dacron in evidence there. And there always has to be a boat called Cunning Linguist. :shifty:

There are two cherubs back on the water in Auckland now, Willy Sanka and Albino Slug. Any others out there? A couple more and we have a race on!

Managed to flip it backwards too last week.

Cherubs are great little boats. Would be very cool if they got up and racing again. Similar power to a 29er but with feel and sailing style closer to a 12. I managed a few regattas in cherubs, seemed like all we had to do to win was not fall apart! The mortality rate was shocking! Mostly broken rudders....
