Melges and North Sails Zenda: Continuing a Legacy of Performance

Melges is proud to announce that we are once again working directly with North Sails — a partnership that brings together two of sailing’s most trusted names in one-design sailing.


For decades, Melges has been synonymous with speed, innovation, and craftsmanship. Our collaboration with North Sails builds on that foundation — ensuring every sailor has access to high-quality sails designed to perform in all conditions, not just a narrow wind range.

“We’ve always taken pride in offering the best equipment possible for every Melges class. Partnering once again with North Sails Zenda ensures our sailors continue to have access to sails that are fast, durable, and built to win.” - Andy Burdick

The North Sails Zenda Lineup for the MC Scow

The MC class continues to thrive, and North Sails Zenda delivers a lineup that gives every sailor the perfect option for their setup, style, and crew weight.

Powerzone+ Mainsail – The most versatile MC sail in the lineup and a true all-conditions performer. Fast across the full wind range, it’s the go-to for one-sail programs.

Magnum Mainsail – A proven design inspired by the legendary Zmax from Harry Melges III. Balanced, powerful, and built to excel in any condition. This sail has won the Nationals & Inlands 2x in the last 4 years. 

Speed Sail – Designed for lighter sailors or breezy venues. A flatter shape provides more control without sacrificing speed — the perfect second sail for two-sail programs.

Each sail is built to the same high standard Melges and North Sails sailors expect — precision-crafted, durable, and race-proven.
