NEW MELGES 24 Western Australian restaurateur Heath Townsend (owner of Wisefood) took delivery of his new Melges 24 "Kaito" just in time for Airlie beach Race Week 07. Sponsored by Dirty Dog Sunglasses and SLAM team Kaito took out one of the heats will minimal effort or pre regatta preparation from nineteen entrants, proving that he'll be a serious force to be reckoned with next year. Sixth overall for Kaito and third for Melges Asia Pacific means we're looking forward to the steadily growing Melges fleet in Airlie 2008.
Kaito then went on to take out the Heaven Can Wait Dash on lake Macquarie, late September.
Heath has entered her in the First Asia Pacific Sports Boat Championships in Hong Kong in November. Melges Asia Pacific will pack Kaito and see her safely shipping to Hong Kong and back in time for Skandia Geelong Race Week, after which he will take her to his home town of Busselton in time for Geographe Bay.
Aussies Campaign their 2nd Melges 32 US Nationals inNewport Rhode Island in July.After Chartering a Melges 32 last year and bringing home an impressive 4th place, Mr Masters took delivery of his new Melges 32 at this years US Nationals. The Aussie crew performed well and mixed it up with some of the best yachtsmen in the world with seconds separating the first and last place in the fleet. The exhilarating One Design racing was mind blowing and really is the ultimate. The high tech features of the Melges 32 makes for superior racing. Henri Lloyd gear kept the crew focused entirely on their tactics, with a mid fleet result the boat was then packed up and shipped to Sydney, set for Geelong.
