Melges 32 EXCELLENT CONDITION, READY TO RACE!


With its light displacement, powerful sail plan, and big asymmetric spinnakers, the Melges 32 has become the most popular sports boat of its size internationally. It offers incredibly fast and fun racing at all levels both as a one design and IRC Racer. This vessel is an excellent example of the design and has been a regular competitor in the Hobart and Kettering racing scene. Presenting in excellent condition throughout, it features quality sails, a registered road trailer, and everything you need to enjoy the exhilaration of sailing a sports boat of this calibre!

On deck, the cockpit is well set up with NEW 2018 Raptordeck, NEW 2021 Harken winches and many new turning blocks. The vessel is a joy to drive with the NEW 2021 rudder bearings, and all controls easily at hand. The mast was repainted in 2019 and fitted with a new backstay and headsail track. All running rigging was also replaced in 2021 with the highest quality products from Sydney Rigging.

This vessel is powered by a NEW 2018 Tohatsu 9.8HP outboard which fits neatly into the internal well, and features electric start and automatic charging. This engine has very low hours and has been well maintained. This impressive package also features the fully registered road trailer for easy transportation to regattas. This was upgraded in 2021 with large tool boxes added for plenty of storage. There are also full boat transport and storage covers also included in this impressive package.

Whether you want to enjoy twilight racing, or compete in the premier regattas around Australia with the vessel's competitive IRC rating, this is a yacht that can do it all with speed and style! For more information, please call Jo Breen on or John Radonic on .
