Spinnakers

Melges 24 Z1 AP Runner Airx 650

Proven in the 2022 Melges World Championships, the Quantum Z1 AP Runner is an all-new, class-leading design. Perfect in 9 knots to 14 knots, this all-purpose downwind sail delivers the power you're looking for, yet, in flat water conditions, the range is wider, and it can be used across the 7-16 knot range. The Z1 is maximum-sized, class legal, and constructed of Airx 650 or Dynakote 75 for durability and great shape retention. Available in a variety of colors and patterns, be sure to ask Quantum Melges 24 experts about add-on graphic options.

INCLUDES: Sail bag, adjustable luff and leech lines, class royalty, and ISAF measurement sticker.

Melges 24 V4 Reacher Airx 650

The Quantum V4 is your go-to for bow-up and jib-out planning conditions. The V4 is optimized for the 0 knot to 8 knot TWS range as well as 15+ knot TWS. The V4's higher clew and straighter luff allow the sail to twist off so the boat unloads and sails faster at higher angles. Even in waves and chop when fully loaded, the new maximum-sized, class-legal design has improved helm feel for easier driving. Top teams from the 2022 World Championships showed how this sail handles and still maintains control in big breeze; it continues to dominate on the racecourse. Available in AirX 650 or Dynakote75 and in a variety of colors and patterns, be sure to ask Quantum Melges 24 experts about add-on graphic options.

INCLUDES: Sail bag, adjustable luff and leech lines, class royalty, and ISAF measurement sticker.
