Does anyone know the whereabouts of Merlin 74, an elderly gentleman visited our club Hampton SC at the weekend, apparently he owned for a many years Merlin no 74 Hippocampus. He said he sold the boat a couple of years ago (probably much longer) and would like to know how and where the boat is, any info? thanks. |
Merlin Rocket no 74 is alive and well in the Thornhill Collection at Lowestoft, Jamie Campbell the custodian of the Thornhill collection reports her a going concern and he has sailed her in few of his annual Vintage Regattas at the Norfolk Broads Yacht Club, on Wroxham Broad (This year 6-7 August.)though like many of us he cherishes our posterity he says it's not really a very nice boat to sail compared with newer boats. She is in good hands! |
