The number of charter boats available is limited, so give Shaun and the GP Watercraft team a call on 07908 796419 or email <a first=\"shaun\" second=\"melges.uk\"><\/a> to secure your place.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe Melges 15 is incredibly easy to jump into as a newcomer, with a clean deck layout and easy to use controls. The Reichel\/Pugh design is quick to plane and highly responsive, making it a rewarding and exhilarating sail. If you haven&#8217;t tried the dinghy yet then the Nationals is a great time to give it a go.
