The B1 Cherub (Bieker’s first Cherub) was designed for David Chisholm of Integra Composites in the UK.  The company name for the skiff is the GT60.  The goal was to a produce a design which would fit within the UK Cherub class rule but have the potential to have appeal outside that class.  I used what I have learned from my exposure to the 12 foot skiffs and the R Class skiffs, as well as my knowledge from the 14’s to design this boat.  The narrow, low drag shape of this hull make it a natural performer, especially upwind.  A crew sailing this skiff won the UK Cherub Nationals with 12 straight wins.
