Por qué los regatistas eligen el Melges 24

The Melges 24 is a Reichel/Pugh sportboat that has run as a high-level one-design class since the early 1990s, mixing top professionals and amateur crews. Sailors race it for demanding, close racing with identical gear at attractive venues, and the class has adjusted rules to suit Corinthian crews. It has been overshadowed by newer sportboats, so fleets outside big championships are modest.

  • Long-running international one-design sportboat class
  • Mix of professional and amateur teams at major events
  • Rule changes (crew weight, lower stanchions) aimed at Corinthian crews
  • Exciting, demanding open-water racing
  • Overshadowed by newer designs; modest regional fleets

  • Higher crew-weight limits and lower lifelines made the boat easier for amateur crews, though newer sportboats had taken some of the limelight.
