MERLIN ROCKET FORUM

Topic : EASY ROLLER

It would appear that the design guide lacks quite a few Merlins. One of them, which I'm presently considering is the Easy Roller.
Firstly, can the design guide hyper-link from boats for sale be updated, and finally what is the basis of this design.

Easy Roller was a modification of the Let it Ride produced in fairly  low numbers by Kevin Driver and Linton Jenkins with a lot of carbon in the internal structure, the first Merlin to go down the light shell/heavy correctors line.  Reckoned by the pundits not to be quite as quick as the Let it Ride, but as one example won the champs this year and Easy Rollers were 2nd and 4th at Salcombe Week I don't think you can truly say the design is off the pace

They've won the champs 3 times since they were first introduced in 2001, the EZR has also been top of the leader board at Salcombe. The amount of lead correctors they carry vary from boat to boat, my brothers has circa 18kg and is bullet proof, trust me, he's hit a few things over the years and the boat is in great condition.

The internals are spot on, from a crewing perspective they are the easiest boats to sail as everything is in the right place.

Which one are you looking at?
