That is a very nice looking plug and is fantastic craftsmanship. Paul, Kevin and Aarvark look like they are onto a winner here! Is this a second shot at a womens olympic skiff/production/one design Cherub? I only ask because I am guessing the team behind it are looking at serious production volumes given the substantial time, skill and money investment in tooling.

Attention to detail is excellent. I really like the little upstands on the gunwale for cleat mounting, and also the areas to increase bonding surface for the mast deck.

It's the really nice thing about a female mould. Every minute spent sorting this mould out saves hours later when making boats out the moulds. Especially if there are going to be a fair few boats out of it.

Excellent work Paul.

It would be criminal to paint it!

Just goes to show how good the plug and hence the mould was ;)
