Merlin Rocket Open Meeting Thames Series

6th - 7 September

The Merlin Rocket is the ultimate hiking dinghy for two people. It has been refined over 70 years of development and is now an extremely modern class providing excellent racing throughout the UK. At 14ft by 7ft 2ins, the modern boats are very wide compared to other classes, giving maximum righting moment when hiking, without needing a trapeze.

If you've not booked with UTSC before, or if you need a reminder on how to book on-line please view this guidance.
