Sun headline of the week:
"Tinner Endorses Pratts"
Seriously Stu is on the record as having a sensible conversation with a sail maker. He managed to explain that;
"Some Cherubs choose to set their rigs to suit their crew and sailing style, hence there are some significant diffrences. Some go for all out power on a stiff stick - others go for a closely matched springy mast/sail and the fleet has everything in between.
As the class is not afraid to innovate and experiment, it is not a suprise that an owner asks for a bit more than their standard replica, as a Merlin owner might""
This may have lost a bit in translaion, but I agree we have some massively divergent rig styles in the fleet (Ronin/Usagi to Aunti) . I thought this a good point to say I have just ordered a replica sail, but before doing so have spent a fair bit of time making sure my new mast is right for it to go on.
(NB Merlin could be several other classes. Yes I like Merlins too).
