-The very first Melges 17 arrived at Lake Eustis:

The new Melges 17 class is off to a great start with many Regattas already sailed all over the U.S.! This very high tech new Melges design might well be another great One Design Class to further establish our sailing club for the long haul by attracting active sailors to our 'One Design' Lake Eustis Sailing Club and its big beautiful Lake in Central Florida.   
These boats are tremendous: Very well balanced, newest materials being used, strong and light weight, easy to sail, easy to keep upright, very fast and exiting: This is the real thing and so easy to handle: One quick pull on a line and it will furl the jib out of the way, (very handy for docking), couple of quick pulls and the A symmetric spinnaker is up and the bow sprit comes out etc. all with one line...  
The Melges 17 gives the opportunity to feel the speeds of an A or E Scow on a much more manageable and affordable platform.  
The 2nd Annual Melges 17 Midwinter Regatta will be sailed right here on Lake Eustis on March 9-11 and includes a  Zenda U Sail Fast Clinic, free to all Regattas sailors, on March 8 from 12 noon till 5 pm.
