One-Design Showcase
As one of the largest fleets in North America, the Melges MC Scow® is a true Melges original. Designed, engineered and built by Harry C. Melges Sr. and Buddy Melges during the mid-’60s, it continues to be a great day sailor whether sailed single- or double-handed. The Melges MC Scow is modern and more performance driven than ever before. It’s high quality from bow to stern, featuring a new and improved board system, not to mention stronger, safer and extremely comfortable.
