Merlin Cup
Gifted to the club in 1986 by Mr A.Ford without any conditions. The Committee decided to use the trophy for an R36R invitation event to be known as the “Merlin Invitation” meeting and to make it an annual Sunday event.
Since 2019 the Merlin Cup has been sailed for by the DF95 Class as a day event.
