This sail includes three vertical RBS battens, roll bag, vision window, class royalty, ISAF measurement sticker and your choice of draft stripe colors. Our standard jib comes with the stuff luff for the head stay wire, the luff that most top teams prefer and use.

Melges 24 Spinnakers

Melges 24 A2 Runner Airx 650

The Quantum A2 is our max-sized Melges 24 class all-purpose runner. Perfect in 6-19 knots, it’s a versatile sail that will allow you to soak low in the 12-14 knot range, letting you sail five degrees lower than the competition while staying on a plane and going fast. The Quantum A2 is a class favorite for its wide range and max power. Made of Airx 650 for durability and great shape holding; available in a variety of colors. Spinnakers come complete with sail bag, adjustable luff and leech lines, class royalty and ISAF measurement sticker.

Melges 24 A2.5 Reacher Airx 650

The Quantum A2.5 is a brand new updated design for 2016 that was tested and used to win the 2016 European Championship. This new design is a full size class reacher with lots of power. The spinnaker has a higher clew and straighter luff than the A2 Runner. This allows the sail to twist off so the boat unloads and can sail faster at higher angles. We recommend using this sail in 0-9 knots TWS and 17+ TWS. This is when the Melges 24 sails best bow up and faster than full VMG running conditions. The A2.5 makes for easy driving and an unloaded helm. This sail is very fast in waves and chop where the premium is placed on driving and correct heel angle.

This sail is available in .75 oz. Dynakote nylon or the recommended AIRX 650 cloth in a variety of stock colors.

Spinnakers come complete with sail bag, adjustable luff and leech lines, class royalty and ISAF measurement sticker.
