UK Cherubs, use a second trapeze and permit appreciably larger sails than the Southern Hemisphere boats. The UK Cherub has a RYA Portsmouth number of 903. The Australian Cherub PY is tentatively set at 100 for 2019/20. Sailing and Racing Many Cherub sailors are in their late teens or early twenties but the flexibility of the class and the Cherub's great sailing qualities mean that they are also attractive to many older sailors. Many women sail Cherubs, both as skippers and as crews. Husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, brother/sister and parent/child combinations of crew are common. In the 1960s and 1970s the Cherub was a popular sailing dinghy in New Zealand when they were mainly amateur built. Cherubs are nowadays mainly sailed in Australia and the UK, with some boats in other countries, notably France and small numbers in New Zealand.
