The Melges 19 is a modern, highperformance onedesign dinghy launched in 2025 by Melges Performance Sailboats to fill a strategic gap between their doublehanded Melges 15 and the larger, more complex Melges 20 sportboat. Designed by the elite naval architecture firm Reichel/Pugh, the Melges 19 is a response to the growing demand for a "threeup" familyoriented racer that prioritizes speed and stability without the logistical burdens of a weighted keel. Constructed in Wisconsin using an advanced vacuuminfused epoxy process, the hull is engineered to be exceptionally rigid while maintaining a remarkably low displacement of only 395 pounds. This design philosophy places the boat squarely in competition with modern highperformance classes like the VX One, yet it retains the approachable, "scowadjacent" handling characteristics for which the Melges brand is famous.
