New fleet of 12 Melges 15s lands in Howth

Christmas presents were opened early at Howth Yacht Club when the much-anticipated container of 12 new Melges 15 dinghies arrived on Tuesday, just days ahead of Howth Yacht Club's biennial Wave Regatta at the north Dublin port.

This new fleet of 12 boats complements the sole HYC boat, making a fleet of 13 boats - instantly the biggest Melges 15 in Ireland - ready to race this summer.
