This Melges 24 was bought by Cary Siegler and Beth Allen to serve a single purpose. We wanted to find a Melges that could keep up with the team of sailors we planned on putting on this boat. It's boat number 136 but don't let her early number fool you, she beats out boats that still have dust from the factory on them. Cre843 got it's name by our company located in Charleston SC who decided to sponsor our Melges 24. www.cre843.com
