We have bought a Merlin Rocket 3528, Canterbury Tales, Chipstow Rig but without a hoop and the helm has decided he needs one.
Does anyone have a hoop that we can have/beg/borrow to which we can fit a traveller system?
Thanks

I should not bother if I were you, our two best open meeting results this year have both been with our hoop traveler tied off in the middle!!
I am currently renovating an older boat and am putting a standard round top hoop in.

Don't listen to him, Nina! He a pondy!
Get the hoop and gain the height!

We've never had a traveller system in either of our previous 2 merlins, however always a standard hoop, this boat doesnt even have that, if nothing else its something to hold onto when the waters a little rough ;-)

Also a nice comfy backrest for the crew on the run, but Ellie tends to object to pulling the traveller across when she's sat there as her hair ends up round the traveller car bearings
