Spring News Report

New Zealand Rules Cherub Project

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. A kit CNC cut plywood parts and full instructions are available. Drop us a message at-UK Cherub if you would like further information.

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.

Rutland Blast / Trail Sail Weekend 28/29 of March

A weekend of socialising, tuning, blasting, boat swapping and sailing with people wishing to try out Cherub sailing. If you would like to join us, get in touch at-UK Cherub.

2026 Racing Events

To better cater for the NZ and single wire UK Cherubs we plan to run two racecourses this season (numbers permitting). The aim being for twin and single wire boats to finish at similar times. There will also be separate results and prizes.
