I've received the following e-mail from Lawrence Clarke of Lowestoft.  Would any local Merlin owner or vintage Merlin owner be interested in following this up?  Could be worth a look.

Mike,

As a former owner/helm of various Merlin Rockets, I thought you might be interested about a painting for sail.

It is a painting of three MR’s all in the 1760’s at a venue that I am not sure of, possibly Lake Bala?

It is in the window of a fishing tackle shop in Lowestoft for the sum of £25.

I assume it has had some connection with the former MR fleet at Waveney and Oulton Broad Sailing Club.

It would make an ideal Vintage Prize or be of interest to the owners of the three boats shown.

The contact details of the shop are:-

Lowestoft Angling Centre
191 London Road South
Lowestoft
Suffolk

Telephone 01502 573392

Can someone local pop by and snap a photo for us to have a gander at?!
