About the Melges 15
Melges 15
The Melges 15, although a newer class, prioritizes stability, comfort, ease of use, and performance. “The Melges 15 creates a clear pathway for junior sailors to get started and stay excited about sailing while also being comfortable and accessible enough for adults to learn, race, or cross-train,” said Harry Melges III. With its main goals focused on stability and performance in a variety of conditions, the boat features a narrow overall beam and a flat cross-section shape for balance, righting moment, and ease of planing. After extensive research conducted by Melges as well as product testing, the result is a comfortable environment for both the skipper and crew. The Melges 15 is built to be sailed by everyone from friends and couples to families and kids.
Also, in very exciting news, the Melges 15 Class in the US purchased some prime real estate on Merritt Island in Florida to have a great sailing center and venue to host the annual winter series!
