Friends, If you look at the photo forum, you will see the finished product of my seat cushion. I just read Mr. Cherubini's response to my earlier post and see that unfortunetly he has obviously not recieved my e-mail asking for permission to pursue this and/or turn the project over to him to proceed or....let it die. Like the article I wrote, this was another attempt to bring some well deserved recognition to his father and provide a resourse for owners to show pride in their vessels heritage. I'm not in to marketing, selling cushions, shirts and jackets. In hind sight, I acknowledge that I should have consulted Mr. C earlier on, but this was one of those ideas that took shape slowly. First the helmsman seat back, then some sort of art work embroidered to jazz up the cushion, and finally a modified Hunter emblem. My sincere appologies to Mr. Cherubini and family...the ball is now in their court.

its funny how some things happen....
well, I was sitting back and thinking.. hum, this was a compliment and then I read Mr. JC ll's comment.. and, well, as a photographer who copyrights work all the time, I see his side too, but I also understand where you are coming from too. Soo, maybe if you two get a chance to talk.. well just might work out, hope so, because I know you mean no harm, only a chance to pay Mr. JC respect for a job well done. Thankyou for your efforts and respect as a fellow Cherubini design boat owner.

Just looked at the pic.. very nice
Very nice indeed. Seems very well done, very tasteful. Did you do it or did you have someone do it for you? Either way, I like it. Happy Thanksgiving.

Cherubini logo
I have been in communication on and off with Don and some others on this issue. The first thing is that if you guys want a REAL Cherubini logo, just ask me! I have both the bird from my dad's own business cards and I think I may also have the original artwork (which my dad designed) for the little sailboat stickers from the early Hunters, the one that only works on the port side! (--it wasn't intended for the side of the boat-- why did they use it there? --same reason the windows on the 27 don't match-- don't get me started!) There may also be the C-44 emblem we designed (which almost never got used). I am also working on a flagpole holder for the stern ensign that incorporates a kind of logo as well. People interested in 'authentic' Cherubini artwork can EMail me after the first of the year (when I have my head back together), and I'll see if I can provide anything that can make it onto cushions, seat covers, yacht gear bags, etc., as people like.

I,too,liked your rendition of the Cherubini logo and acknowledge your achievement. However, one of the reasons I seeked out the boat I have, a Cherubini designed 1980 Hunter 33, was because of being in one and sailing on one owned by friends who brought it from Lake Lanier and refurbished it. And it was a lot of work but so well worth it, from an esthetics point of view, that it made me feel the designers signature on it. It made me want one! I knew nothing of the name John Cherubini, nor did I realize the feelings I would have when sailing and working on this boat.What I wish to convey to you, Don, is that I feel there is such love of style and design in these boats that to place something not meant to be for the sake of classy design sometimes demeans the original. Not that yours would do so because I really thought it very good. I may be in contradiction to this statement because in an effort to diminish work, I replaced the teak rails with a single 14.5' SS rail. It looks good to me but it is not the classic traditional styling Mr. Cherubini designed into the boat. So I apologize to John,Jr. I have been communicating with John, Jr. and after some insite into his history and his present situation, I believe the best thing to do would be to see if an arrangement that would be both profitable to him and pleasurable to us could be done. I feel that so much in his life has not been good, this additional decision is just untimely and may be revisited within time. I just do not wish to be more specific at this time, however, life has many twists and turns, and just now, this twist just may have come on the wrong turn. I am trying to think of some idea that would give John,Jr. some feeling of comfort and inclusion that would help tie us all together to benefit us all. Glad tidings to you and may your days with the Cherubini designs be as happy as mine. Steve K. and the Head Angel

I'd Like to Talk
Don - I've admired all your postings (the hatch, the "verticals", the cushion) and you seem to be very familiar with the early wedge-deck 33's. I'd really like to pick your brain about their build quality, laminate quality and general durability. Can you contact me at Richardsongroup@home.com?
