The Melges IC37 is an American planing sailboat that was designed by Mark Mills as a one design racer and first built in 2017.[2][3][1]

Production

The design was initial built by Westerly Marine in United States but Fibre Mechanics based in Lymington in England were soon added to increase production capacity. The initial 20 boats are all owned by the New York Yacht Club based in Newport, Rhode Island. Additional boats were sold to NYYC members and international with boats also sold to Royal Yacht Squadron members racing in the Solent.

Design

The boat was conceived by New York Yacht Club following an evolution of designs to replace the ClubSwan 42 fleet which were over 10 years old.[4] The boat was targeted at the younger members closer to high performance racing yachts like the TP52 than previous boats which were genuine racers/cruiser yachts with a cruising interior.

The boat was design by Mark Mills with KND Sailing Performance perforing the CFD and VPP Analysis and the Structural Engineering: SDK Structures. In addition North Sails Group were responsible for the rig and sail development.
