Re: Merlin Rocket Adur 3 design - Shoestring - update

Re: Baltic Wharf
I remember Rozzer well at Ranelagh originally owned by Clive Curtiss, quite a character and then by Jeff Worsdale. I also believe in more recent years by Ed.

Re: Merlin Rocket 1028
The original name was Crossbow and she was based at Banbury SC. The 12 was a very popular design in the 60's and designed by Ian Procter specifically for inland waters with a low wetted area and quick tacking. Design won the Silver Tiller a number of times.

Re: Merlin Rocket 2112 History
2112 "Decision" is certainly a 9b built for T D Nisbet a well known Merlin helm at Hamble River SC and Ranalagh. She won the SMYC Sussex Flagon Silver Tiller event in 1968.
