    Melges 32

    The North Sails Class Sail Development (CSD) has been heavily involved in the Melges 32 class since its inception in 2005. We are continually racing in Melges 32 events, testing our sails and making improvements that keep North customers in the lead. North Sails does more testing and development in the Melges 32 than all other sailmakers combined.

    CSD Melges 32 CSD sails are made with the most advanced materials and manufacturing technology in the industry. We also work together with Southern Spars and Melges Performance Boatworks to create the best sails for your complete Melges 32 package. CSD sails are not only at the top of the class; they are the most popular sails in the class. Melges 32 CSD has also compiled expert tuning tips to optimize sails, boat and crew so that you can get those extra points that make the difference. 

    Harry Melges & Daniele Cassinari© North SailsHarry Melges (left, top) and Daniele Cassinari (left, bottom) are the Melges 32 Class Leaders for the Class Sail Development. Both Harry and Daniele are experienced Melges 32 specialists, and they can make your boat faster and more fun!
