John and Lyn have a new baby
The Gardiners would like to announce the arrival of their latest addition..
Merlin 36
This boat was third in the first Championships 1946. The first owner was a certain Ian Proctor.
It's a bare hull at the moment, Mervyn thinks he can locate a wooden mast, but if you know of period sails, boom, rudder (pintles etc) Blocks . in fact anything other than the hull we would love to hear.

No news here yet I'm afraid, Due on the 18th so now a few days late. I hope oyrs isn't made of wood, and that no mast is fitted!!
It will need plenty of care and a lot of shaping to ensure that it is well sorted when finished!

Stu, I am sure that you are looking forward to regaining a lightweight crew - in fact you will have a combination of crew/helm weights for the next few years depending on prevailing conditions!!! However, having had the children experience myself (26 years ago) I can guarantee that wet and windy is the order of the day for the forseeable future!!
