"A huge thank you to Nautilus Yachting for continuing their support of our Merlin Rocket Inlands," comment Louise Johnson Sponsorship and Publicity for the M.R.O.A. "As a class we are very fortunate to have some long-term sponsors and we are really appreciative of all they do for the class and our members."
Craftinsure Silver Tiller Organiser and co-ordinator of all Merlin Rocket events Caroline Croft has organised a grand finale to 2021. From now until 4th December there is a Merlin Rocket Silver Tiller, Thames Series, Midland Circuit or the Inland Championships every weekend (except the 30th/31st October if we are going to get pernickety), so plenty of opportunities to get out on the water and meet with friends and the nights draw in.
