25.01.2022 If you’re based in WA and would like to give a cherub a go, please come down to MBSC this Sunday from 11am!

22.01.2022 Well done to everyone on the weekend, a great weekend of Sailing on Lake Macquarie hosted by Belmont 16ft Sailing Club. Race 4 of 2020/21 NSW States on Saturday was delayed by about 30 minutes as we waited for a friendly shark to clear off the race course... but soon got underway in a 12 knot SE with 29 Cherubs on the start line.... https://cherub.org.au/nsw-states-round-2-wrap-up/

21.01.2022 It is looking good across the Tasman.

21.01.2022 **Final Life Membership post (for a few years)** The wonderful Cam Rule was officially awarded his life membership today by President Todd McVee. Cam first sta...rted sailing Cherubs around 1995 and spent numerous years on and off the committee. Cam sold his last cherub back in 2014 but is always a good friend of the class. Cam made his come back for the GBYC Nationals 17/18 and his IT Business Rule Technology was kind enough to be our major sponsor. Thanks for your ongoing contribution to the Class Cammy! See more

19.01.2022 Who needs a full main and boom to go downwind?!! #australiancherubs #skifflife

18.01.2022 A light easterly for today's race

17.01.2022 This year’s theme for International Women’s Day, ‘choose to challenge’, seems to perfectly describe the Cherub class. The Cherub fleet challenges sailors to compete on an equal playing field, regardless of their gender. This culture of inclusivity has fostered a unique on-water race environment filled with friendly competition and camaraderie. Off-water this exists between sailors and spectators alike. As NSW Comitttee member and long-term skiff sailor, Andrew Glassock put ...it in his summary of the 2019/2020 Cherub Nationals Championships, I don’t think there is any other open skiff class that is as successful as the Cherub class in gender equality and promoting female participation in sailing. Certainly, the rate of female participation in Cherubs is unrivalled in other Australian skiff classes. During their last national titles at Darling Point Sailing Squadron, before COVID-19, 15 out of the 29 helms within the participating fleet were female. Perhaps more excitingly, four crews were comprised entirely of women. Not only did our talented female Cherub sailors ‘choose to challenge’ at this event; they rose to the occasion. In fact, every perpetual trophy bar one was taken home by a mixed crew. Women have long had a history in the Cherub class, but female participation has grown exponentially within the last decade. To some extent, this may be a credit to the design of the boat, which allows women and men to enter the class on an equal playing field. It is few who can resist the temptation of a fast and agile craft prone to exhilarating downwind sailing. If you ask Cherub sailors though, they will happily tell you their gender balance is more so a testament to the encouraging and open-minded temperaments of both the men and women who represent the fleet. Lily Peel has skipped her boat ‘Short, Tired and Emotional’ for six seasons, sailing with female crew Cathy Pagett for five of those years. For Lily, the question of gender equity within the fleet has never really crossed her mind. She believes that whilst she may have a few more swims than some of her heavier male counterparts in a 25-knot southerly, being a woman in the fleet has never been a point of contention or disadvantage. For Lily, there are not female and male Cherub sailors - there are just Cherub sailors. We are so proud and privileged to have a gender-equal fleet and strive to promote gender equality in sailing as one of the pillar stones of our Association. We would like to take this occasion to thank all the beautiful women in our fleet and encourage others to join in the fun. May we continue to foster an inclusive and diverse fleet for generations to come. #internationalwomensday2021 #skiffsailing #australiancherubs #ChooseToChallenge
