Laurence and Robert only have space to house one boat, so with Murphy on the water Aggro is looking for a new home. This one is a real giggle to sail and fully symmetric!

The Plus plus also appears to be for sale again - love the photo sailing across the car park!

Its actually sailing down the street rather than the Car Park - to be precise the A245 Kingston Rd in Leatherhead! Of course its a photoshop job, and in spite of not being a particularly good one, especially by todays standards, you'd be amazed how many people it fooled.
When I sold it there was a reasonable amount of not very tired gear on that boat (mainly Ronstan), a strong stump (loose on lowers and prod rather than built into the structure) because the mast telescopes down it) and a biggish rag and stick, so if you were able to pick it up for not much cash then there's a lot towards a Frankenboat type big rig conversion of a Cherub, although of course the sail shape cut would not be much good for a boat with a jib.
