MERLIN ROCKET FORUM

Topic : First time since 1946

For probably the first time since 1946, Merlins 6, 7 and 16 were all sailing together last weekend at the Shearwater cvrda event, a fine sight for wooden boat lovers and they all used traditional cotton sails! Spindrift (7) was racing for the first since restoration by club member Simon Brewerton whilst Mervyn Allen travelled from London to helm Gently (16). 

A Rocket 252 and Merlin Rocket 2115 also took part along with two sliding seat Hornets and two International 14s from the forties and fifties and various others. 

Lots of pictures on the cvrda facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/cvrda/ - number 7 is the one with blue sails.
