Re: Classic dinghy sailing clips
1953; 'dinghy sailing' shows Merlins and others including Merlin 220 which I am rebuilding at the moment (thanks for spotting that Chris)
Loads of good footage especially for the twelves.

Re: Classic dinghy sailing clips
Lovely film....
interesting though.....
This was the 1954 regatta....yet there were lots of shots of a sparkling new MR669, which according to the Merlin records was not made till 'circa 1956'......so either records/title is maybe a bit wrong.
Also....might very well be wrong....but was that an Ent I saw? Again designed 1956....so presumably not.
cheers

Re: Classic dinghy sailing clips
It could be that they only recently found the film in their archives, so it was probably mis-labeled.

Re: Classic dinghy sailing clips
I love it when you look at this film....and you have to remind yourselves that the Merlin and the Ent would of been absolutely brand new and 'cutting-edge' technology for sailing.
To us they look quaint and old....but then....they would of been really 'wizzy'.
