History

Reichel/Pugh designed the Melges 32 in 2004 as a bigger, more powerful sportsboat for grand prix circuit racing. Melges Performance Sailboats has built more than 230 boats, and the class holds World Sailing international status with active fleets across the USA and Europe.

Sailing Characteristics

A deep lifting keel, tall carbon rig and big asymmetric spinnaker give the Melges 32 real offshore level speed for a boat this size. It suits well drilled crews who want tactical, tight racing at genuine grand prix pace.

Racing Context

The International Melges 32 Class Association has run circuit style regattas and world championships across the USA, Europe and the Caribbean, with fleets built around professional and Corinthian crews racing together.
