Building on the concept and success of this Mark Mills design, the IC37 Class is looking to build on huge foundations that are already in place, by bringing regattas to the European and specifically the UK stage.
The thought process for the IC37 was always to put the power back into the hands of the Corinthian owner and amateur team, by moving away from the high budget, high stress classes that are operating on the world stage. These classes often leave a substantial gap in the market for those sailors that are just looking for fun sailing, with potent performance and most importantly ease of use…………. Welcome to the IC37 by Melges.
The IC37 is exclusively for sale through Ancasta Race Boats for the UK and Ireland.
