The Midland Circuit is a series of events, some Silver Tiller status, some not, for Clubs officially within 60 miles of Midland Sailing Club although sometimes miles vary in length! The Circuit began in 1967 with many leading sailors such as Phil King and Mike Calvert being successful before moving on to success on the Silver Tiller circuit.

To qualify, all that you have to do is complete four events, including at least one non Silver Tiller event. Results from each event are recalculated to include only eligible Midland Circuit competitors. Silver Tiller rules apply and override club results if necessary. Entry is open to any member of the MROA who lives or sails at a club within 60 miles of Birmingham.

We divide the competitors up into three fleets, all sailing together, to give everyone a chance to win something:

All comers: all boats
Prime of life: boats more than 10 years old and less than 20 (this year 3624 to 3501)
Mature boats: boats more than 20 years old (this year 3500 and below)

The Open fleet will compete for the four trophies, 1st, 2nd and 3rd plus best improver. There is an “Old Boat” trophy which applies to the mature boat division and a trophy for the “Prime of Life” Boat. The youngest helm under 25 to qualify and the youngest crew to qualify will also be recognised with a prize. And to encourage the lady sailors, there will be a prize for first female qualifying helm and for the first female qualifying crew!

All qualifying teams will receive a bespoke item of Merlin Rocket logo'd clothing. The sponsorship for the Midland Circuit is awesome with some very generous individuals and companies supporting us.
