Latest Merlin Rocket class Magazine hitting members' doorsteps now

by Patrick Blake 24 Dec 02:47 PST

If you are interested in all things Merlin you can take a look as it is now published online too. The fixtures for the famous Craftinsure Silver Tiller Series are on page 4 - and the fixtures for our regional, vintage and classic series are in there too.

There is a bit of a 'heads up' for our Aspire National Championship at Looe next August and some terrific shots along with the report from Tenby. Details of Salcombe Merlin Week and the Allen Inland Championships at Grafham in June are all there as well.

There are some features too, check out Clive Eplett's amusing and informative piece from a 'newbies' perspective (pages 20-21). If you want to see some of our country's very best sailors showing off their talents just check out the front and back covers - there is a lot to learn if you study them carefully. Talking of training, the first thing on our fixture list (March 1st and 2nd) is the training weekend at Hayling Island with our new training coordinator, Megan Pascoe.
