The American mag Yachting in 1928 had an article about Malaysian Racing Canoes. They had a device called a Tali Dogang. "From the mainmast, just above the forestay, the Tali Dogang is made fast and kept from slip[ing sown by a wooden peg. This Tali Dogang consistes of a length of manila rope, o...

Here's a question for you - what were the firt craft recorded as using a trapeze? Whern and where.

OK, here you are. Note this is a very early boat which hasn't ever actually had the shroad anchorages for the aft mast fitted. I think in the early day they might have been expected to tie the mast to the rowlock holes, but the setup in my opinion isn't really up to the loads. http://www.cherubpres....

There never were forward shroud positions per se. If you look at the frames that are in the way of the thwart, you should see a hole about half way between thwart and gunwhale. The shroud ties on with a lanyard to these holes. Strictly speaking if you are sailing una rig you ought to have a larger m...

How shaped is it at the moment? What's the core made of? If its a single piece you could try cutting it into lengthwise strips and 180 rotating alternate strips then reshape it. You'll still lose a fair bit of material reshaping but at least it won't warp again. Then glass/carbon coat up to size.

Rather than use Araldite, which has a habit of not coming off when you want it to, go to a car parts shop and buy a tube of "loctite". This is designed to have enough grip to stop the things working loose but be able to be undone if necessary.

If there is no previous paint and you're really preparing the surface throughly I'd use two pot International: it won't need doing again for years. If there's already paint on that's not an option because the old stuff will fall off when the solvents in two-pot hit it.

Nick Champion was certainly active two years ago so I assume is still now. Sorted out some old Cherub stuff for me.
