Can someone tell me how wide a modern Merlin is?

max beam 2200 or 7ft 2"

Hi Rob, I wasn't really asking about maximum beam, but what a Winder CT or for e.g. your dreamship measures. For all I know, it may be the same; I just have nothing to measure against here, and the question arose because people see the big difference between our 1620 & 2988, and ask where it's gone today.

BTW, I have loosely arranged with Keith to have an off-race ride in Wicked at Salcombe, exchanged against the same in Foreign Affaire, formerly Hysteria, and before that Keith's own Moonshadow(1974).
