Had an Ian Murray designed & built one (so I was told) waaay back in the seventies . Nothing like these ! Still loved that boat & as a kid , I worked 2 part time jobs to support it. Used to sail it one up in big westerlies on the Clarence River with mates in other boats. Great times. Even sailed out to Solitary Island from Coffs.
They are called Cherubs. 3.7 meters, 51kg, I think the main and jib add up to about 10 or 11 square meters, the kite is bigger than that. +20knt in bursts down wind.. A good combined crew weight is about 150kg (which is why you see quite a few women sailing them)..
@@francoiscourcol6973 they are a "box rule" class so you can design/build them your self or employ a boat builder (though they are all very similar). In Australia you mite build one at home for $10k (maybe?) A professionally built one is probably $16k+ (depending on how fancy you were with the sails n stuff)? I don't really know. That's a sketchy guess.
Wonderful. I raced Cherubs in the 1970s and loved them.

This just goes to show what a good design John Spencer came up with in the first place.
Probably the fastest 12ft dinghy after the 12ft skiff!
Cool video, what song did you use for second half. Cant find it anywhere
I asked and it has to be bought from the music equivalent of a stock photo provider for $50
What is the name of the maker of that sailboat?🤔
what is the music for the second half of the video called??
Awesome
Why are you guys not up on foils?
You were always the lightest two up in the world?
