MELGES 24 BOAT NO. 500 TO BE EXHIBITED AT STRICTLY SAIL BOAT SHOW IN CHICAGO - USA

The Strictly Sail Boat Show, which takes place from 1 - 4 February in Chicago, will feature Melges 24 number 500 on the Melges Performance Sailboats stand. "This is a special show for us because we will be showing off Melges 24 500", says Melges President Harry Melges. "Melges 24 500 has been purchased by VJ Chigas of Chicago, IL. We certainly want to welcome him into our fleet."

The Melges 24 Class has seen a fantastic resurgence of interest in the US over recent months and with the 2001 Worlds taking place in Ft Lauderdale in November a number of top US sailors have already placed new boat orders. If you are interested in joining the fleet or trading up to a new boat for the 2001 season now is the time to take action so please go to our "Boats & Equipment" section for details of both the US and European builders or call in and visit Harry Melges, Andy Burdick and Eric Hood on the Melges stand in Chicago. To make contact with the Melges stand please call Andy Burdick on 847-687-4510.
