Melges Dinghies for Yacht Clubs and Associations

Melges dinghies offer yacht clubs and associations a first-class combination of performance, versatility, and accessibility. Whether used as a training platform or for racing, Melges boats are designed to meet diverse needs and foster the sailing community. With various models and tailored offers, Melges Switzerland provides clubs with attractive pricing and financing solutions to facilitate long-term investments.

Versatility for Training and Competition

Melges dinghies, such as the Melges 15, offer clubs a flexible platform suitable for teaching youth and adult sailing as well as for regattas. These boats are robust and stable enough for beginners while providing enough performance to excite experienced sailors. The easy transition between non-spinnaker and spinnaker configurations ensures a seamless shift from training to competitive sailing.

Fostering Community and Member Engagement

By incorporating Melges dinghies, clubs can attract new members and engage existing ones. Offering club races, charter options, and regattas enriches the club’s activities. A unique advantage of the Melges 15 is its design for intergenerational sailing—from parents with children to older members.

Attractive Pricing and Financing

Melges Switzerland offers yacht clubs an attractive pricing model and flexible financing solutions. Annual costs are kept at a manageable level, and the slow depreciation of Melges dinghies makes them a sustainable investment. Clubs also have the opportunity to sell the boats on the second-hand market later, reducing long-term costs.

Competition and Events

Melges dinghies provide a strong platform for club and regatta sailing. The Melges 15 class has quickly established itself as one of the leading one-design classes, with regular national and international regattas. Through the Melges 15 World League, clubs can even participate in regional and global competitions, promoting visibility and interaction with other clubs.

Durability and Easy Maintenance

Melges boats are designed to withstand the daily demands of yacht clubs. Their robust construction and straightforward maintenance requirements ensure they remain in top condition for years. Regular care, such as rinsing after saltwater use, and durable materials keep the boats performing at their best even with intensive use.
