Cherub Nationals Pembrokshire Yacht Club

[Graham Bridle]

Our first cherub nationals (well I did one in about 1978 but we'll brush over that). Briefly I wanted to say thanks to everyone for being so friendly to fleet newcomers. I've been in a few fleets over the years, and NEVER have I experienced such comerarderie (sp?) among competitors, its a tremedous advert for the class and really helps when you're feeling in unchartered waters.

And of course a special thanks to Gavin, Simon, Will and Lucy for bringing our mast back from its carbon grave, such selfless assistance I have never witnessed before; one day you WILL let me buy you a beer !

You have a lifelong convert now in Eddie, mention any other boat than a cherub and he comes over all grumpy and refuses to do his homework. Debi he hasnt taken the shirt off yet !

Onwards now with plans for fleet domination by 2011, mind your backs !

Graham and Eddie.

Debi he hasnt taken the shirt off yet !

Sounds like a true cherub sailor now!    Bet he hated going back to school this week - or did go under the uniform?!?

Glad you both had a good time!

Graham, I picked up Eddie's groovy red hoodie which he left behind! Roland has it now and it will be sent to you sometime in the near future (PM me your address).

It was good to see you both.  I enjoyed the close racing we had and secretly I think Tom was worried that he might be beaten by a younger cheruber.  The class is addictive so I don't think you are going to get Eddie into anything else for a while. 

Wear that shirt with pride.

Subtle Knife was all the same kit as the 2007 guide (hyde sails, c-tech mast, with aardvark and hartley the rest).   Si weighed in at 70kg and myself at 82kg.

[Will_Lee]

Who put noycey down as 125kg?

[Will_Lee]

He's not a gramme over 124kg!

[Tim Noyce]

yeah, who did put that?! I'm only 87kg I'll have you know!! 

[simon_jones]

Loco is an Aardvark hull and T/foil, C/tech rig, Fyfe main/jib and north kite. Dean weighs 50 Kg's, I weigh 65 Kg's Hence the amount of twinning
