The Merlin Rocket is a two person high performance development class dinghy with a spinnaker. It’s a versatile boat and will perform well on both open seas and inland waters. Various hull designs allow crews to choose the particular hull that suits their size, weight and age. The Welsh Harp is ideal for the Merlin, being a mile in length and 100 acres in area with a prevailing south westerly wind, allowing excellent windward sailing.
