The Cherub is bermuda rigged with trapeze(s), and has a crew of two.
The early Cherubs had a relatively large spinnaker flown from a halyard which exited the mast just above the forestay and used a spinnaker pole and restricted the trapeze to a single.
Current Cherubs have both enlarged the sail area and use an asymmetric spinnaker system. Trapezes have been extended now to both helm and crew.
