Melges 14 Tour Preview — Drone Footage

Melges Performance Sailboats is proud to announce the Melges 14 Tour, a national series of try-it-out demo days and regattas. The Melges Team will be hitting the road with a trailer full of Melges 14s so anyone can test sail the new boat. Once you get a tiller in your hand, tuck your toes in the straps, and take this rocket out for a sail, you’ll see that this new boat is really changing the game for singlehanded dinghy sailing. The Melges 14 Tour will come to Florida, Virginia, Maryland, Michigan, New York, Wisconsin, Illinois, and more. We’re kicking off the tour with the Melges 14 Midwinter Championship in Sarasota, Florida March 17-19, where 25 boats will hit the starting line. The Lake Geneva Challenge at the Lake Geneva Yacht Club June 10-11 will certainly be a highlight of the Tour. Sailors can charter boats for any of the four regattas on the Melges 14 Tour. We can deliver your new Melges 14 to any of these events. The Melges Team is launching the Melges 14 Tour so that curious sailors have the opportunity to try out the boat and see how much fun it really is. Contact us so we can get you set up with a test sail or to bring you a brand new Melges 14. Everyone is welcome to see & try a new boat at any time: See new boat production at our headquarters in Zenda, Wisconsin, then try out the new boat on Lake Geneva. The Melges 14 is a modern one-design singlehanded racing platform that can also be a family-style sailboat for two people. The self-bailing open cockpit design provides a comfortable ride for more than one person. The carbon mast & boom complements its flexible sail plan with three rigs: Gold (98 sq ft), Blue (85 sq ft), and Red (58 sq ft). The Melges 14 is an all-ages boat for adults and kids alike. New Melges 14s are in stock and ready for delivery. Sailing World’s boat of the year is reaching critical mass. Get a new Melges 14 — We have one ready for you! Contact Melges today.
