Grey Merlin is for sale as we have decided to buy a bigger boat. She is based on a Roxanne hull and below deck configuration is similar to that of a Roxanne but with a cutter rig and a bowsprit. The spars are hollow, made of Douglas Fir by Noble of Bristol. Grey Merlin featured on the front cover of Practical Boat Owner in January 1997. For full details and a very complimentary review of her please see Practical Boat Owner 1997 pdf .
