Next Sunday sees round 2 of the Blithfield Barrel.
Round 1 saw 16 Merlins take part covering a broad spectrum of boats and ability, former national champions and novice Merlin sailors with boats from brand new to 30 plus years old all compete in this event.
 £15 for two races on the day or £30 for the remaining 3 days and 6 scheduled races, hot lunches available, free tea and coffee and a well stocked bar for afterwards. Whatever the weather any Merlin sailors can be assured of a warm welcome, with members traveling from Banbury in the south and St Helens in the north the only downside its that you might just be tempted to join for the winter!
Blithfield is the venue for the 2016 Merlin Inland Champs so why not come and check out the venue.  

Merlin results so far: should be a blast this Sunday for round 2- £15 for the day if you want to join in!
