Advantages of the Melges 15
Performance and Stability
Big enough for two adults or adults with kids.
High boom so it’s friendly for casual sailing. Modern rig and hull shape so very fast too.
Ergonomic cockpit
Very sporty when you want it to be with an asymmetrical spinnaker.
Single-Pull Spinnaker SystemGnav Vang
Tapered Aluminum Mast
Aluminum Foils
Flip-up Rudder
Light and compact so much less to worry about for storage.
Simple to rig
Melges 15 fleets are starting to pop up coast to coast! The design is ideal for one-design racing as well as a teaching and club sharing platform.
The M15 is gaining in popularity in Colorado! We had a very successful demo in Grand Lake, Colorado over the summer of 2020. In the spring of 2021, there will be 9 new Melges 15’s coming to Grand Lake. Melges is hosting a 2-day clinic for all new owners and current M15 Colorado owners. Hopefully, by then we will have less of an issue with COVID. Learn more about the Melges 15 >>
