High Octane One Designs

Visit Melges Performance Sailboats at the 40th Anniversary U.S. Sailboat Show with two Audi Melges 20s on display for on-land cameo and demo test sailing.

Sample all the Melges speed you can handle at the 2009 U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis, Md. this October 8-12 featuring the all-new, ultra-hot Audi Melges 20, times two. Experience this innovative sportboat concept at exhibitor space 81A (outside of Tent YB), then try it on for size with a demo in the U.S. Sailboat Show Test Drive Area.

Join the Melges team for a full Audi Melges 20 bow-to-stern tour. On land, check out the features everyone is raving about, such as the high-tech Harken below-deck furling system, large comfortable cockpit with a modern, simplified layout and its popular no-hiking, legs-in attitude. Be sure to go for a test sail to feel the performance engineering of Reichel Pugh Yacht Design and product excellence of Melges wrapped into one phenomenal package – the Audi Melges 20. An already secured 2010 Audi Melges 20 U.S.A. Sailing Series is hyped and ready to go beginning December 11-13 in Miami, Fla.

Awarded 2009 One Design Boat of the Year by Sailing World Magazine, the Audi Melges 20 takes competitive sailing to a whole new level. The Audi Melges 20 is now.

Melges Performance Sailboats looks forward to seeing everyone there. Feel free to make advance demo appointments by contacting Andy Burdick onsite in Annapolis at +1 (262) 227-8345.
