cherub sails sought for nz restoration
« on: September 06, 2012, 06:20:30 PM »
Hi from New Zealand, I'm looking for some sails for my cherub # 1996. I realize that the rules have changed the dimensions a little , but will doctor them to suit. I'm altering the boat also by installling a bowspit too. I have a friend in the UK at the moment who could bring them back for me.really. , I'm wanting the sails for authenticity sake, and wanted them to at least come off another churub.
Thanks

Mark.

Hi Marco,

I think that you might struggle to find anything suitable, most of the small sails are getting old now, so spares are hard to come by. The larger sails would be a big job to cut down to the size you need.

Hi Mark,
I have some old style (1970's / 80's) sails in my garage which you could have for free. Not great condition but useable. What age is your boat? I am in Newacstle in the far north of England.
