Well my limited Classic Cherub knowledge would say it is a Forman 4, with a centreboard. Looks vaguely similar to mine, except I believe mine is narrower between the chine at the stern from memory.

Shows how bad my memory is, mine has a V'd transom! Either way, my comment about it looking forman'esque still stands!

Look forward to being proved otherwise though  ;)

I'm only guessing, but it looks a bit too flat to be a Forman to me.

Just been alerted to this. Might be useful to anyone 'doing up' an old boat? Bit far for me to travel though.

Certainly bits and sailno are Forman 4 Era... 25quid? In his dreams I think, especially if the kite pole is only 8ft long.
