Continuation of A Little Bit of Heaven
Sorry, hit the wrong key before completion of the article. The following is taken from an article, "Classic American Sailboats", written by Reese Palley for the May/June 2000 issue of Good Old Boat magazine. Many thanks to Reese and Good Old Boat mag for the article. ".....The owners get to join the most exclusive sailing club in the world. They get to sail boats built by artists...did I mention that the Cherubinis are accomplished musicians? My fantasy is that the Cherubinis, musicians all, build their boats to the structured and logical music of Bach...complicated, intertwined, interdependent and perfect. But just before I left, I learned the real music to which this passionate family has, for four generations, been building boats. It seems that a great-grandparent back in the onld country, one Luigi Cherubini, wrote the music for 'Ave Maria'. 'Ave Maria'...so that's how the Cherubinis (in Italian, 'Little angels') build such heavenly vessels. They've got help." Consider this as possibly the reason why we all enjoy our Cherubini designed Hunters so much and also as a little side light into the Cherubini family history.
