A new 'Wall of Honours' for the SYC Merlin Rocket Week Winners .

Salcombe Yacht Club Merlin Rocket Week is one of the most prestigious events in the dinghy racing calendar.

Sponsored by the multi-award winning Salcombe Gin Distillery, the action packed week brings an abundance of electric vitality to and around the town where a 'Salcombe & Tonic' is becoming the drink of choice by many.

Merlin Rocket Week is an extremely popular annual Salcombe event which takes place every July. Yachts take to the water in their scores and the crowds gather to watch the action unfold from the shore.  

The race includes up to 120 entrants and never fails to create a spectacle for those watching from the nearby beaches.  The races are held from Sunday until Friday as the competitors  battle for the title of Merlin Rocket Week champion.

All MRW Champions from 1958 to the present day can now be viewed in the SYC Bar, thanks to Graham Cranford-Smith and Geoff Allen, who have kindly organised, hand crafted and hung the new 'Wall of Honours' board to officially recognise all the deserving winners.

A massive thank you to Graham & Geoff for all your efforts.
