E Scow Mainsails

E Scow AP Main

The Main AP is a user-friendly, easy to trim-and-go sail that will cover the full wind range from 0-25 knots. We have refined the luff curve to better fit the mast and made improvements to the flying shape giving this sail more power in the lower ranges while maintaining its ability to flatten with vang and cunningham as the wind builds.

E Scow Headsails

E Scow Light Speed Jib - Zipper Luff

We've taken our tried and true AP Jib, and created an even better sail for the low end of the breeze range. This light air secret weapon is designed with the same shape as the AP Jib, but uses lighter materials.

This jib features improved corner reinforcements utilizing the best materials on the market and a zipper luff. The zipper luff helps further smooth out the luff entry and allows the asymmetrical spinnaker to slide over the headstay more easily during jibes and takedowns as well as extend the life of both sails.

E Scow AP Jib - Zipper Luff

This jib features improved corner reinforcements utilizing the best materials on the market and a zipper luff. The zipper luff helps further smooth out the luff entry and allows the asymmetrical spinnaker to slide over the headstay more easily during jibes and takedowns as well as extend the life of both sails.

E Scow Max Runner - Airx 600 - Single Patch

The Max Runner is a large, powerful spinnaker designed to be a good VMG-mode sail. This sail is versatile in that it is strong in a full range of 0-25 knots and the best choice if you are going with one spinnaker.

E Scow Z-4 Spinnaker

The new Z-4 spinnaker is now available. Featuring a larger vertical bottom section that maximizes twist in the top third of the kite, the Z-4 optimizes the balance between a spinnaker that excels at reaching yet can still sail in a low mode when conditions dictate. Developed for heavier breeze days, the V4 gives you the confidence to sail hotter and faster in up-range conditions and also excel in the light-air vmg mode.

This spinnaker is built with AIRX-600 and comes standard with a single takedown patch; two takedown patches are available upon request.

Harry Melges III

Harry Melges III

Harry Melges III has worked in the sail making and sailboat building businesses his entire life. Growing up in a family business that supplies high-performance sails and sailboats, Harry was constantly thinking of ways to push the boundaries. How can we sail a boat faster, make a sail faster, or build a boat better?

Melges' mission has been to encourage more people to participate in the sport we love by bringing forward products that make boats easier and more fun to sail and improving quality and value with every new addition to the Melges line-up.

From a young age Harry spent much of his time crawling around the sail loft, learning from the artisans of the 70s and 80s how to make sails the "old school" way, something that is somewhat lost in our computer world. Taking that experience and blending it with today's technology has produced some of the fastest sails in our one-design classes through the years.

Harry is thrilled to be joining Quantum Sails, a company with values similar to Melges, and fully committed to promoting and growing the great sport of sailing while delivering the highest quality products at the best value. "I'm excited to be working with an American company that always makes the customers' needs its number-one priority."
