Umm, first Cherub all from female moulds is a bit of a claim... I wouldn't want to bet there weren't any in the 60s and 70s made out of chopped strand c***p. First foam sandwich, yes that probably is true, certainly in the UK.

The main reason for the claim of first Cherub from all female moulds was made on recent knowledge of 97's and 05 rules boats.  Paul's boat uses moulds to make the forward beam/bridge structure, spine and gantry and i believe aft beams as well as hull and deck.

Jim, you've picked the potential flaw in my claim that some of the earlier boats could make that claim with only a deck and hull moulding.

Quite a few bistros were made from a female HULL mould.

Icterus had the look of an all-female mould job - but that was 1970+.

Anyway - it is the first recent boat made from all female moulds - and v nice it looks too!

I'm afraid the Subtle knife was built from female moulds, including the bridge deck.  Unfortunately the bridge deck mould didn't last at all well and I don't think the replacement that I made that Hartleys for boat #2 used lasted very long either! It was a very silly shape to be trying to make. . .

Indeed, the Badger was all female moulded, Hartley had their pattern maker build a new bridge deck mould for the build.

Other than those 2 it's defs the first recent one though ;-)
