Post by: Buzz569 on October 24, 2017, 07:59:53 PM

20 odd years back my wife and I owned Cherub 2627, does it still exist? I've some pictures knocking around which I can share with its owner if its still on the water!

After several “missing” years she was spotted on eBay and returned to the fleet under the loving care of Laurence Trim, making brief appearances at both 2009 and 2010 nationals. She now sports a Daemon T-foil and an intermedaite set of Hyde square top sails. With the exception of an additional “providence unknown” ply (lead) crew deck at the rear she remains structurally original, bullet proof and most importantly when it blows can still deliver grin factor 10.

I would be happy to add any pictures to the boat page linked above.

Had a bit of a session with me, and angle grinder and face mask in 2012 - at the end of it she was back at near weight and as long as you were moving forward held water.

Fantastic boat to sail
