When you are talking about the ultimate sailing boat with speed, performance and crew work you are talking about the Melges E Scow. This boat is the best of the best. Our shop in Zenda takes great pride in progressing this boat each season in order to make the ultimate boat year after year. Recently, we have seen a progression in the rig of the E scow. Modeled after the E's big brother the A scow we find our new E boats with chainplates further aft in the boat. Spreaders swept further aft and no backstays or twings on the deck layout.

These developments have made the New 2008 Melges E's much easier to sail. The deck layout is ultra-clean making it easier on the skipper and both crew up front.

The new boats coming out of our shop have the new foil rudders along with our new style self stepping mast step. Literally, one person can put up the E scow mast now. There is no need to have your team present to put the mast up. Again, another progression.

You have to see these 2008 boats. Stop by our shop in Zenda or see a new boat at a major regatta. These new boats are a sight to behold!

The Melges Wedge Spar -
an exclusive with only the Melges E! The wedge spar provides the cleanest, truest bend. The quality workmanship that goes into achieving its taper produces unequaled performance. Of course, the boom with our B-Vang compliments the spar package, utilizing aft clips and forward spinnaker post to accommodate the Melges tapered spinnaker pole. All aluminum is anodized, stainless; tumbled to eliminate corrosion. Rigging is stainless steel cable and Ronstan calibrated turnbuckles contribute to spar tune consistency. The adjustable outhaul on the boom is 8:1 mechanical advantage. 

We use Melges-Marlow Excel Pro line for all control lines on the boat. These are polypropylene lines and they are the best! These are mounted to our ring frames internally which were new in 1995.
