Racing at MSC

Merlin Rocket

There are four main fleets at MSC, Merlin Rocket, GP14,  Enterprise and Solo with racing taking place throughout the year on a handicap system. Other classes including Fireball, Laser, RS 400, Flying 11, Topper, Optimist, often put in an appearance and are encouraged to do so - in fact we welcome all monohull dinghies.

GP14

During the winter there are two races each Saturday with 13.30 and 15.00 start times. The summer season includes a Wednesday evening series from April to September.

We have a fully automated light and sound signal system for all races.

Always available after the first race is an excellent choice of hot sandwiches, soup, chocolate bars, tea and coffee with the bar opening after the last race

Enterprise

Competition is keen but good-natured, although protests have been known to surface. The less experienced sailors are encouraged to take part as the Club feels this is one way to improve their skills.
