Those lines look familiar, can't think where I have seen them before though.....

Can't find much on Google about it yet! Or the melted website.

It is described as a prototype ..... But looks pretty advanced / sorted.

Isn't it a D Zero being marketed as a Melges so it sells in the USA?

It does look similar doesn't it.  But there are differences even from the video I can see, like dual control lines....not heard of melted making a zero to be honest, I'm sure Rodney would confirm.

Nothing like a zero if you look at it carefully. Looks to have a laseresque boom for starters, hull form completely different, nothing to do with zero.
N12- pure joy
D-Zero more pure joy

Good news - another 'different' boat to race against without worrying about PY... Potentially and theoretically anyway.

Should have looked more closely at the video. Not sure any Melges dinghies have been released over here, so probably won't be competing unless they are looking to fight back against RS.
