Not sure if there is any photographic evidence of the maiden voyage, but we took it out today for a few hours and I can only say that I am thoroughly pleased. 3 hours on the water and there were no creaks, growns or snags of any kind whatsoever. Amazingly we launched the boat straight into the race and didn't have to worry about the boat all race. Few tweaks to do for tomorrow but nothing major, need plenty more lowers and D2's to power up the lower half of the rig (the boat was previously stumped, so setting up the lowers was best guess yesterday with the fid on the beach) and will need to do something to the cunningham to align the blocks a bit better, and also since putting on a shorter gantry Kate was a bit put out that the tiller extension was perilously close to her face!

Good work Tm and Kate. Is Kate sure it was the tiller extension ?

It had been 3 years between sightings of 2648 but yesterday I finally made the trip to Kent to collect the Cherub and return it to its rightful place at the sailing club. It's now at home and might get a bit of a wash before making the final part of the journey (once I've located all the rest of the useful bits required to go sailing... trolley wheels, boom, sails, foils etc which are currently spread around various locations such as the shed in the garden, the shed on the allotment and my parents garage). Then, to find time to sail it again... We're certainly closer than we were though!
