Hi there,

Myself and a friend have just bought a 1960 Merlin Rocket (1175) with an eye to restore it for sailing. Its in a bit of a state but we really want to get into sailing and are very keen but just don't know where to start. Any advice would be really welcome. Literally anything at all.

Thanks very much 

Tim

A good place for restoration advice is the Classic and Vintage Racing Dinghy Association where this sort of stuff is discussed all the time.  Search CVRDA in Google
