I'm on my way to work and interscepted the postie on the driveway. Undid the mail in the car and opened up the new issue of the Merlin Mag. The photography has just blown my mind and having had a quick flick through, saw a good photo of Mike Hamilton inside the back cover! Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't manage to intercept the postie so look forward to a good read tonite. As ever Pat no doubt fantastic quality. Well done.

It is a fantastic issue and the photo's are stunning.  Another Pat triumph !

Knowing Pat's attention to quality and detail in his sailing it is not a surprise that this has carried into the extremely professional production of the MR magazine that we have seen evolve since he has been responsible for production.  Like sailing - get the right crew for the job for success. Great to see.

Have to agree, some wonderfull pictures well done to those who put it together.

Brilliant mag Pat, I was left with a glowing feeling about the class as I finished it!

Nice article about Roger too - scary to hear how little he understands or fiddles with the rig. That has got to be food for thought for a lot of us.....just get the damn thing flat first, and pay attention to the kicker.

Well done to Pat. Excellent read

hey hey hey, both my boats in the mag!

Ace mag, thanks to all. Am particularly enticed by the Looe 2008 logo, brilliant! Reminds mewhy you sail a top tastic boat in such good company. Now to enter the Nationals - accommodation booked already, when's the web site up & running??????????
