Boat Review

The Cherub is the lightest double handed racing dinghy in the UK and has an asymmetric spinnaker and twin trapezes. There is a set of rules that the boats have to be designed within modifications based on your preferences are sometimes allowed. The Cherub lasts longer because the modifications mean it can keep up to date with current sailing developments. They are lighter but stiffer than most dinghies as they are made using carbon or glass foam sandwich techniques. The cherub has been record as going 25 knots and is quick off wind. This is down to the fact they have an excellent power to weight ratio.
