Sick of Fireballs.  Want my Merlin back.

:-(

What ever posessed you to turn to Fireballs!!!?????

Well there are lots of old Merlins around so get cracking.  In fact the Vintage fleet is probably the fastest growing wing!!  It is I am sure testament to the quality of so many of the builders of the past that these boats are still around and in good nick.

But even a vintage boat isnt as narrow and cramped as a Fireball? How on earth do those 6ft crews manage to tack?

Garry,


Could you let me have your email adress please need to ask a few questions on old boat restoration as I now have MR 908 and needs a bit of work.

Thanks


Richard

Sent you an email but you can also click here.  Like I said am off on holiday tonight but will be sailing at Frensham on Sat and Sun and then Dorchester 28th.  'Tis the long annual trek!!

Thanks Gary.


Picked up your email.

Have a nice hols!

I moved from crewing fireballs to helming rockets last year. Being just over 6ft a wise choice. I lopved crewing the fireball but it doesnt compare to sitting at the back of a merlin on a reach, no where near as smooth!
