-There are currently 8 glass skinned wooden boats in build based on the popular Dan Leech design. They are single trapeze with a wider hull than the UK 2005 rules boats. They have a total sail area that sits midway between our UK 1991 and 1997 rules designs making it an ideal boat for adult and kid combinations or those not wishing to twin wire.

  === RYA Dinghy Show ===
-We had lots of interest at the dinghy show from elderly past class members reminiscing about the early days to new young sailors drooling over the shiny carbon “Marmite” display boat. We’ve received numerous emails from sailors wishing to have a trial sail at the upcoming Rutland blast, others that can’t make Rutland, but are being set up with trials elsewhere and also people requesting further info on the NZ Cherub kits. Thanks to all that helped make the show a success.
