There are some new boats at Brightlingsea SC, and some older ones at Walton & Frinton YC.

New boats at brightlingsea that would be interesting to see them,well to see any up close would be good.It's such a interesting class of boat I've read most of the info on this website now although being vey new to sailing some of the term get lost on me the rigging is a mine field to understand but wiki-pedia comes in handy! Mast stepping is probably someting simple but wiki-pedia explanation isnt quite what I was expecting...

Hi Hamish,
If you come down to B/sea any weekend they'll be someone who can show you around the merlins there.

Hi Andy
Is there racing most weekends?
Hamish.

Yes, 578 is at Ardleigh being re assembled after a touch of rot treatment and a dab or two of varnish to her bottom and a bit on the inside too.

Hi Hamish,
Racing is most weekends through to December though we have the Sprint 15 and OK Nationals this weekend and next so the club will be open with people about all weekend but not (perhaps) any Merlin sailors! More details at www.sailbrightlingsea.com
Cheers
