Welcome to OSO! Do you have any pictures? Sounds like a really cool piece. The Merlins are the inline 6's right?

Haven't seen one with arnesons before! That would be a heck of a reliable setup. Theres one on E-dock with Smith Power on bravo's and some really detailed rigging..

Get ahold of Brownie, He works with Nick Miller. Nick worked at Cary back then and probably built that boat.
