I reckon the Harris family - Harry, John, Robert, Richard and Andrew have owned at least 22 Merlin/Rockets since 1954. Can any other family beat that?
John's daughter Sara Warren crews in M/Rs and so did his wife Sue before she started sailing a Firefly. Both my son William and daughter Jane have crewed in the past. And my ex-wife Helen of course, she crewed me in my most successful season. My first cousin Richard Gaunt crewed me in the 70s and sailed the family boat Passing Cloud at Ranelagh. And isn't John's grandson James crewing now? That makes twelve Harris family members who've enjoyed M/R sailing.
