Hi Nigel, you are very welcome at Chew and at ours for accommodation/food etc. I think Roland has emailed you, but let me know if you need any other details. Looking forward to meeting you and Sam.

Hi Hayley,

He's in the 'I just like blasting and hate racing' club - I think that's because the Tres gets left behind by most boats at Bartley. . . well, there's a solution to that :O)

. . . and I think he'll like meeting other Cherub sailors.

Hi Nigel, There may be a cure for not wanting to race around at the back of the fleet, however sailing a Cherub will certainly increase the desire to blast. Look forward to seeing you at Chew.

He's the right age to get into Cherubs. . . and I might not be too old, we'll see

Nigel - you're never too old for cherubs (you just get the crew to do more work!)

Si, you (and Dean) are very welcome at ours on the Saturday.

You're probably right Hayley. . . Cherubs were always more about balance and skill, rather than strength and looking at the videos I don't think that has changed.

My current favourite recent additions to Youtube are:
'Cherub kite run'

'Cherub screaming downwind with high-speed pitchpole'

The latest headcams are producing amazing results and (it's not fair!) it's summer down under

Did you hear the language? Aussie Cherub sailors are potty mouths. . . unlike the Brits :O)

Are people planning on sailing on the Sunday? I think I may only be able to make the Sunday.
