Cherub number 2428, 'No Sweat' is undergoing a refit in time for meeting her new owners next weekend.

This fine vessel was undergoing a thorough restoration in Bristol, but the disused building in which space was blagged for this purpose was suddenly due for demolition so the class association received an urget message: "Can you find a good home for this boat: I've no space to finish the work I've started".

One thing led to another, and Tim Unerman, Paul Croote and Will and Lucy Lee arranged boat transportation and storage. A new owner was found: One equipped with a barn and some bairns too; the usual requirements for ownership of vintage Cherubs.

The refit was concluded this weekend with the application of a couple of coats of white gloss to the bottom and the first rigging of the boat for possibly a very long time. No sailing sadly, but the crew practiced his light wind technique!

There is more progress at Bloodaxe HQ. If you think this looks sexy just remember this is just the mould. Wait until you see the boats!
