History
CHERUB was the second boat of Everson's design, the first in the Deben 3 tonner class to have a small cabin. No 1 TRINITY HALL was a half-decker and was itself based on a successful boat called DREAM. The class became popular in East Anglia and several continue to be sailed there. Some vessels were fitted wit Stuart Turner engines -see article in Classic Boat 2000 January page 52. January 2011 (Picture courtesy of Classic Boat)
