====== Bilbo! ====== I'm sure you all know that France is a hive of Cherub-related activity. This is this weekend's progress in Paris: Ghislain Devouthon has finished the hull and shaped the deck. The scary part was cutting the hull to length - a big time for any cherub-builder. Ghislain was very lucky to have his dog Bilbo to help him - Bilbo having taken time out from his busy schedule of wetsuit chewing, pavement polluting, old lady charming and world-class sexual experimentation to be there. As you can see from the picture, he bore up under the strain quite well. Courage les Français! {{page>*:boats:2692#11th Dec 2006}}
