Looking for plans or desighn

Im looking to build my first sailboat and was thinking of an FRP Cherub

I want to do it in a simple mould with a foam core.

We have had no luck finding any rhino files or full scale building plans for a proven hull desighn and building plans

Contact the UK Cherub association at sailingsource.com/cherub
I don't know if they have any free plans available, but they are a friendly bunch. gggGuest is the man who would know...
I don't think any Cherubs have been designed on Rhino, or even Freeship. You could always design your own, the rules are pretty simple.

My strong opinion is that you do not want to build your first sailboat in foam core FRP unless you get access to a good quality mold of a recognized hull shape, and even then you will need experienced hands on guidance to get a good result. The hull build is plenty demanding enough, but are you going to design and build the mold first, with no boat design or build experience? Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. Contact the guys at the English Cherub assoc. and be guided by their advice. Try this link:
