FOR SALE: Turn-Key Melges 24 #702 — Ready to Win World Championship!
Location: Charlevoix, MI USA (The exact geographic center of the 2026 Championship circuit)
This boat is tuned and ready for US and World Championships, but after getting everything set, the owner can not compete for personal reasons.
Most Melges 24s listed for sale require months of hidden prep work, expensive transport logistics, or a costly trip to the sailmaker before they are truly competitive. Hull #702 eliminates all of that. It is a proven, exceptionally fast platform that is 100% race-ready to bring home the silver today.
Here is exactly what sets this boat apart from the rest:
• Hull #702 has always sailed in pristine fresh water. It is stiff, dry, and in immaculate condition.
• Championship Advantage: A brand-new, never-hoisted $12,000 North Sails wardrobe (Main, Jib, Spinnaker) is included. These sails have never been up the mast. You can save this perfect crisp inventory exclusively for the championship starting guns, while utilizing the 8 additional training sails (2 mains, 2 jibs, 3 spinnakers) for your summer practice blocks.
• All rigging in brand new: New spinnaker sheets (tapered and light wind), jib sheet, main sheet, back stay rig and traveler. It’s all new and ready.
• The trailer went through a complete refit in May, and is in top shape.
Located approximately 80 KM miles from Traverse City, 30 KM from Harbor Springs. Free delivery to either the US Nationals or Worlds, or you can keep it in Charlevoix for centralized training and practice. Owner is willing to assist with local logistics and getting your team situated.
Everything is included. Vakaros with wireless masthead wind sensor dock lines, tons of spare parts including spare rigging, everything. Everything was put together to compete at the top level and is ready to go. Hull #702 is an exceptionally fast, fully optimized, turn-key championship weapon available for immediate inspection.
