2640 'Bubbles' Italian Bistro For Resto
« on: December 09, 2015, 09:11:59 PM »
as a summer has gone, and a cold winter rolls in, i have come to the realisation im just not going to have the time or space to sort out my cherub project and give her the love she deserves.

shes is a Italian Bistro design, built is E-glass, the hull is stiff!!

Doesnt look like it has had masses of use, however it has then sat in a barn for some time, and in my car port for the last 6 months.

I have removed the paint from the foredeck., the bow on the starboard side, and the thwarts.

The trolley is immaculate, by the looks of it it very rarely ever saw salt water, if at all.

The rig is a twin spreader, 91 rules. Single trap but is fitted with take offs for twin wire. Looks to all be in good shape, bottom spreaders are the cool anodised blue selden ones. RWO muscle box fitted for rig tension which operates off a wire luff jib halyard. Boom is in great nick, square section ally jobby. 

Includes a full set of sails, Batts IIRC in dacron, which are useable, but not great. Kite is again useable but not great, it is hole free from what i can tell!

Foils - rudder is a lovely bloodaxe carbon one, daggerboard is a low aspect wooden number, I14 board available by separate negotiation (its not strictly mine)

Work that i know needs doing - finish sanding and repaint hull & foredeck. Fill in holes in gunwhale. Refit gantry, paint spaceframe, few blocks and rope. Reinforce centreboard box, preferably make up a new one.

PRICE -  £200 ONO  this is to cover what i think the rudder and trolley are worth. If you dont want the rudder and trolley you can have it FOC, so long as you get it sorted and on the water.

Located falmouth, cornwall

No, I can't see them either....

EDIT: having had a look at the links, it seems they are on dropbox - perhaps the settings for this only allow the personal user to see the photos?

If I remember correctly to stop spammers the forum is set up so that you can't post pictures working links for the first 5 or 6 posts.
You should now be able to upload pictures using the options in the attachements and other options below the big text box.

Great news Chris and thanks for sharing the project with a new home.

Two things:
1) If you ever want to sail a cherub in the future, then please PM me and I'll happily find a time to meet up and let you loose in Born Slippy

2) Who is the lucky new owner? Can you share this with us? (
(if not please let Jamie P know by PM as the sec he is the keeper of the lost boats :-) )

Fantastic news - can you pass them Jamie's contact details and my mobile number.

I'm not great for tech advice at the moment as life is to full. However, am happy to answer quick things and pass them onto the person most likely to be able to help if they are looking for a head to bounce ideas off.
