Merlin Rocket 3656 “Wild Card”

A very well known boat on the National circuit and multi owner proven track record. 

This is a great value boat to not only join the fleet at SYC but also to race at the front of the fleet nationally. 

Winner of 2 nationals, the Inlands and Salcombe Week plus many Silver Tillers with Roger Gilbert and James Stewart. 

In my ownership, she has achieved:Salcombe Week 2nd and 5th.Nationals 6th.Grand Slam 2nd.Silver Tiller 1st X 4, 2nd X 4, 3rd X 4Last campaigned in 2016, she has since only done Salcombe Week and a couple Silver Tillers each year, no club racing so very little use. Hence reason for sale. 

She has just come back from Dorset Boat Works where she’s been fully race prepped, including revarnishing of spars and carbon tank (see pictures) and a full polish.
