Cheers for putting the clicky link on.  She is in really nice knick but I have too many other project to keep her up together, so trying to sell her on before she starts deteriorating.

I'm thinking about it. And would if I didn't have the mill stone of a family Mirror to keep going.

Dye the sails red and I am pretty sure no one would notice... well not till you had to negotiate putting the kite pole up or gybing!

It would be a good boat at BSC, and Luke can improve his trapeze skills quicker. But I am also trying to find him a crew for the Mirror to do Opens / Squads in that, so we are currently upgrading the Mirror rig and foils. Another wooded boat may be a bridge to far, having just spent about 3 weeks sanding / repainting / varnishing / epoxying our Mirror after last winters efforts at destroying it. If the Cherub didn't need work I may have gone for it for short term use?

Daryl, I think i have probably worded it badly, the cherub dosn`t need any work it is in good condition and everything is in working order.  What I meant is I would rather sell it now rather than in a year or so when it will start to need a little work.

Tim, we have gone old school! And have bought 2619! Where is everyone getting there insurance from for classic rules boats? Has the class negotiated a different rate for old boats with any company?

Noble wanted full rates for Flat Stanley so I ended up going third party when I had it. I would be keen to hear anyone elses experiences.

I use cover my boat .com third party insurance as I'm a cheap skate!

Excellent choice Daryll !! Long live the woodies!

Well it will be a little more pratical at BSC than the Ambulance! Should mean that Luke will get to grips with 3201 quicker.

What do the wood experts think caused the transom issue... Rudder loads? I can see a new transom and gantry being made for it soon.

I'm no wood expert, but I would advise going sailing!

You know... that thought hadn't crossed my mind at all, so thanks for bringing it to my attention...I was thinking of making a garden sculpture out of her.

Maybe I will name her 'Schrodinger's cat'.
