Hello all.

Can you help me... well my mum actually. Does anyone know (and I doubt this has to be specific) the measurements for a Merlin Rocket IXb from to top of the mast to where it joins the deck (I don't have a tall mast), and the distance from the mast at the point it joins the deck to the stern and to the bow. Sorry if I didn't use the right terms, please someone enlighten me, I still struggle with them all - but haven't been sailing very long. 

I suspect this is a knitting project, as mum's a keen knitter and I think has been inspired by the link below...

Thanks in advance and hope to see some of your this weekend at Thames Sailing Club.

Mel :-)

I don't think that we should be encouraging grannies to go out 'yarn bombing'

Don't know the measurements but if she wants a Merlin picture converted to a knitting chart I'll put it into the knitting pattern software and produce one for whatever stitch tension she's knitting to.

Melanie, These measurements will differ slightly even from 9b to 9b. Suggest you careen (roll the boat on her side, with mast up) and use a tape measure to take the actual measurements specific to your Merlin. Ask a friend to give you a hand!

Thanks Pat and Mike. I think I will end up having to careen her.

Have a super weekend all, weather looks fabulous

Just look at your certificate?
The best guess is 21'6" to mast tip from sheerline.
