First place, first production boat, first time racing!

The new Morrelli & Melvin designed NACRA Formula 18 catamaran wins it's first regatta sailed, counting all first place finishes. Pete Melvin and crew Jacques Bernier won the 2006 Southern California Midwinters held February 18-19 in Long Beach, California. They were very pleased with the speed, handling, and strength of the new boat. They were sailing production hull #1 and had no breakdowns of any kind.

"We had not sailed this design against F18's produced by other manufacturers so were anxious to see how the new boat performed. We were pleasantly surprised to find that our speed was excellent upwind and mind-blowing downwind. We have very few hours on this new design so are confident that we will be able to further improve the outstanding performance potential of this new design." said Pete.
