GBR 209 (230 in total built) is an exceptionally well-prepared Melges 32, campaigned and continually developed to a level rarely seen on the brokerage market. Built in 2009 and one of the later Melges 32 hulls produced, she has undergone an extensive programme of optimisation, refurbishment and performance upgrades since 2021, resulting in a boat that is fully race-ready, fully measured and proven at the front of the fleet.

Widely regarded as one of the most successful one-design sportboats ever built, the Melges 32 combines exhilarating performance with surprisingly refined engineering. Carbon spars, lifting keel, retractable bowsprit and asymmetric sail plan create a boat capable of reaching speeds well into the twenties while remaining competitive under strict one-design rules.

GBR 209 has benefited from significant investment including new PBO standing rigging, complete running rigging replacement, Sailmon electronics, hull and appendage fairing, keel bolt replacement, new Harken deck hardware and a comprehensive cosmetic refurbishment. Fully measured and weighed for the 2023 World Championships, she remains fully compliant with Melges 32 class regulations and ready to return to the racecourse immediately.
