The Melges 15 fleet is set for the Lymington Dinghy Regatta this weekend, with a fleet of ten boats expected to race. This event is jointly hosted by the Royal Lymington Yacht Club and the Lymington Town Sailing Club, and has become a firm favourite with sailors.
There are still three charter boats available for the special rate of £195 for the weekend, directly from Melges UK. With summer set to return, this is an opportunity not to be missed! To book your boat contact Shaun on 07377 628043 or email
When the temperatures rise, the Western Solent is renowned for its fantastic south westerly sea breezes, which will be perfect for the Melges 15 to get up and fly, especially off the wind.
The first race on Saturday is scheduled for a very civilised 1pm, while racing on Sunday is set for 10.30am, with a Saturday evening social at Lymington Town Sailing Club, tea and donuts after racing, and camping is available just a couple of hundred metres from the club.
Meanwhile, fourteen of the UK Melges 15 Charter Fleet are set for the Europeans at iconic Lake Garda to join the fleet of 40 boats which includes entries from Ireland, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and the Netherlands, UK, USA, Canada and Australia. Racing takes place between 3rd and 5th July as the fleet continues to grow on both sides of the Atlantic.
Melges UK currently have a fantastic June deal on ex-charter Melges 15s, available to purchase for £9,750* with trolley, top cover, sails. Contact Shaun and he can have it delivered for you to race this weekend in Lymington, and you could then head to Garda yourself!
