Looks great and will look even better with the top coat on. 

Hopefully not too far away from it's first sail.

All the best!

You should be pleased Doug, it looks fantastic, and to have built it without the benefit of local boats to look at for reference is an impressive achievement, i look forward to the dubai open !

Thanks.....pics with the topcoat . I have deliberately made it all white to keep it cool......white moths only became available to sail in Dubai Shocked

The first sail will have to wait as i am away to india for a couple of weeks then Boston for maybe a month.  I am taking the T-foil to India to finish there.

Mast, boom and sails will be on order next week.  Everything else is done!

I also have a trolley and trailer....just been converting them today to fit a cherub.

Target July....24 months after starting to build the mould  Undecided

Don't know how you're getting on so far Doug, but when I bought my first Cherub the guys at my club told me it would take 4 years to learn how to sail it properly. That was over 20 years ago and I'm still not quite there. But really that's the whole idea.

Hi all,
Sorry to be away for so long.  Cry   Most of last year was a pain.  I changed jobs and then was in the US for over 6 months.  Just got back to Dubai last weekend and have been working on the boat again.  Putting fititngs on.   I am still travelling a lot and not in Dubai that much but with a push would like the get boat sailing in the next couple of months.

Put the hull in the water today at the yacht club and looks great.

It's barely scraping above freezing here and snow is everywhere...you're just making me jealous :O)

Looks absolutely brilliant though.

Looking good Doug, the question is how we persuade you to bring it to Wales in the summer Smiley
