Kostya,
There are a huge selection of rigs available for a Cherub. Current suppliers on recent new builds are www.c-tech.co.nz/ (http://www.c-tech.co.nz/) and www.aardvarkracing.co.uk (http://www.aardvarkracing.co.uk). Selden and Superspars also appear on some very successful boats.
It is possible to go for a complete home build mast, the current recipe we used on my boat is on the main cherub site. Remember that mast building is not generally easy and I am playing about with them. I started off my project knowing that the first few would certainly be experiments and possibly break - I've broken 3 tips sailing during this experiment which feel like real low points at the time. When it works though the grin factor is excellent.
What boat are you aiming to build?

I am glad that you have chosen to build a cherub. They are very rewarding boats to sail. A complete self build is a significant undertaking but several boats have been built this way recently. sailing a boat you have built is very satisfying.
There are many decisions to be made during a build so I would advise planning the layout of bulkheads, fittings and design laminates early.
If this is the first time you have built using these materials I would start building simpler parts first before making the larger and more difficult parts.
Ask any questions
Good luck.
