Overview
Just in time for a pro team to buy this race-ready beauty for the 2020 World Championship and the "warm up" regatta, Sperry Charleston Race Week. You don't see a boat like this for sale very often, and its located on the east coast for the top national regattas in 2020. This is the most race-proven and race-ready Melges 24 for sale currently... originally a proven track record with Alan Field and his Pro team and more recently with Richard Reid’s 2nd place finish in the 2019 North American Championship.
Ideally, the buyer of this boat would be a US or international pro team looking to have a perfect race specimen already for top level competition and the 2020 Worlds Championship!
