CVRDA

Start worrying people I have been given the vast majority of Merlin Rocket 1028 .Now its not often I admit to not knowing stuff but I have no idea about Merlins. Apart from the RYA is there a source where I could find out who built it and confirm my assumption that it is a Proctor 1X ? In the past t...

Has the RYA shown any interest in this? They do, after all, represent our sport. Surely this is worth their effort.

Pictures now on Facebook Report sent to Y& Y .The report may not be super accurate due to lager induced brain fade

Just sorting through a few pictures and calming the dog down Report for y&y and this site to follow when I get round to it.
A pleasure to have you all here

Sam

I hope to see you at Aldeburgh the next week

Morning Ian,
Dogs are welcome providing they are more or less under control ( even mine goes to the club) There are lots of recognised walks round the pit which can be enjoyed by dogs and non sailors. No problem with motorhome
