Brian;
The Cherub log that I need the base for is the older version of what you
have. It is a much larger taffrail log and uses a different base. I also
have the same one you have, the sling pattern MK IV. I have used that one on
several transatlantic trips and found it to be a great and accurate tool. I
have some spare fish for that one, do you want a fish. In all the miles I
have used the log I have never lost the fish, but I always carry some
spares. I do not yet use electronics for navigation and feel the need to
keep accurate dead reckoning when the weather gets bad. When I get a new
fish I sand it to bare metal and spray paint it black with a catalyzed
finish. After that hardens I rub it with bronze wool to take off the shine
and I think that makes it less of a target to the sharks.
All the best;
Bob
