MERLIN ROCKET FORUM

Topic : Endeavour

Just read the y&y forum on this years endeavour, merlins seam to be getting some unwanted comments as Cristian is down to represent them, most people seem to think its the helm that qualifies for the entry, I must admit that was my understanding of the rules?

I understand that the class gets an invite and nominates a representative, not necessarily the Champion. I was honoured to represent the Phantom class some years ago when it was sailed in Enterprises, having come third in the Nationals. Great event - still smile at the memory of the whole fleet bowing down, "not worthy" style, to the late and greatly missed Jonny Merricks. Class.

Seeing the real trophy was also pretty special.

Could have missed out on the sailing completely though, the entry to the Crouch makes Salcombe simple.

Andy is correct the classes get an invite to the event. In our case Stu had already committed to the 470 class before he won the merlins. the club were happy to have either Helm or crew from the winning boat at the champs so Christian took up the option for us.
on behalf of the class we wish luck at the weekend.

The Endeavour is now only for National, defaulting to European or World Champion if not available if sailed in that year. One must remember the boat has 2 people in it. So technically I assume that Christian is the batten holder but imagine Andy will in effect helm. More interesting is the 470 is included with Stu/Luke and Stu as the helm on the entry.

Hope that clears that one up.

Perhaps we stand a better chance than ever of having a Merlin sailor win this year as I counted 7 sailors who were competing at Lyme Regis in the line up!

Good luck all

Not suprising it is such  tough class to win in with quality like that, and that is just a small portion of the talent.

Good luck to all of our fellow rocketeers!
