Merrington ranked at International level turned the 3 race final against Victorian Scott Walton into a state of origin war on the water winning final series 3-0.

He showed determined fighting spirit to overcome a penalty for a rule breach and then apply the overlap in the passing lane to beat Walton for the title sailed in 8-10 knot winds.
