Melges 24 Spinnakers

Melges 24 Z1 AP Runner Airx 650

Perfect in 9 to 18 knots, this all-purpose downwind sail delivers the power you’re looking for. The Z-1 is maximum-size, class legal, and constructed out 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.

Melges 24 V4 Reacher Airx 650

The Quantum V4 is your go-to for bow up and jib out planning conditions. The new V4 is optimized for the 0-8 knot TWS range as well as 19+ knots 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 max-sized, class-legal design has improved helm feel for easier driving. Top teams from the 2022 World Championships showed how this sail handles big breeze and still maintains control. 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.

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."
