Melges, a 75-year-old Wisconsin-based boatbuilder known for its high performance sailboats, is embracing change in 2018 with the Melges Power 26, a powerboat the company has spent years developing. The Melges Power 26 features a simplistic, sleek design with a deep-V forward section that blends into “inverted bell” aft sections for a smooth ride that cuts through chop. Melges used an epoxy-infused foam-cored laminate to create a lightweight, efficient hull. The Power 26 is built for fishing, cruising, watersports, relaxing and anything else you can think of. The Melges Power 26 accommodates 12 people and a number of engine and electronics options.

Melges Power 26

From the creative and innovative minds at Melges Performance Sailboats comes a boat that's in a class all its own, awe-inspiring and versatile. No matter your purpose — fishing, recreational watersports, cruising or spectating with friends and family, the Melges Power 26 is unlike any other power boat you’ve ever seen. For starters it’s the first power boat this manufacturer, who is best known for its high-quality performance sailboats, has ever built.

This year the Wisconsin-based company released the brand new Melges Power 26 and it debuted at boat shows across the country and beyond. Several years of research and development went into the new power line as Melges utilized scale models, prototypes and all-condition testing to prove the design and construction paths were on target. The result is a beautiful, sleek, simplistic design that is incredible to drive and true to the Melges brand.

Created with great passion by some of the most experienced boaters, fishermen, naval architects, structural engineers and boat builders in the world – including teams that have developed America’s Cup and Volvo Ocean Race-winning boats – the new line is backed by a solid reputation in the boating industry. For more than 70 years, Melges has delivered the highest quality performance sailboats available, building a powerful brand name in the sailing industry and is now taking that experience to the power side of boating.

Family Traditions

Three generations of Melges men have taken the helm of this tight-knit family business, beginning with Harry Melges Sr., a strict German with a no-compromise business temperament. The senior Melges was also a first-rate craftsman with an eye for fast boat designs, and he would pass these qualities along to his son, Harry Melges Jr., a.k.a. Buddy Melges, the Wizard of Zenda.

Today, Melges in Zenda , Wis. , is run by Harry Melges III, a keen sailor and businessman in his own right, but with a distinctly different management style than his forefathers. “My grandfather was a strong but fair man,” says Melges III. “He was a great craftsman and designer as well as a great sailor and iceboater. I am sure it was his way or the highway. I have heard stories about him not selling a boat to someone if he didn't take it the way he built it! I believe that my style is a bit more subtle than that of my father or grandfather. I try to lead by example, work hard, do the job right, know every job in the shop, and do whatever it takes!”

A Broader Vision

The current CEO’s desire to grow his family’s company led to hiring Andrew Lowe as the builder’s production manager in an attempt to branch out into a segment he’s always wanted to be in.

“We’ve been building sailboats since 1945 but it has always been a dream of Harry Melges to build a power boat,” says President Andy Burdick. “When Andrew came onboard the two of them worked together to make it a reality.”

“It was the next step for us to get started in the power game,” adds Lowe. “I came here six years ago with a design for a 26-foot boat and it just needed to be tweaked with Melges. It was a collaboration of myself, my friend Horacio Chakass from Argentina and Harry Melges and so far it’s been well-received.”

First In Line

Dr. Greg Smith has owned several boats over the years including the two sailboats he currently enjoys and has developed a great friendship with Lowe. The Power 26 was something they discussed in the past and it was a concept that interested him from the beginning.

“I started seeing sketches years ago so it’s a project I’ve been watching as I was able to see different phases of the designs along the way,” says Smith. “I was really impressed with Andrew’s designs and techniques as well as his design concepts with the hull. I first saw the prototype almost four years ago and because of the unique design it was instantly well-received.”

The boat was officially released to the public in January this year, but Smith was able to get one of the first models off the production line last August.

“I’ve been amazed by just how solid the boat really is,” says Smith. “It’s highly adaptable to go from family to fishing and the boat is solid. I take it out 50 miles from shore and I feel perfectly safe. It’s very unique and even though the market is very competitive, as soon as people start seeing this boat it’s really going to take off.”

The Power 26 has a lot of unique features, but one in particular seems to get the most attention and that’s the T-top. It was designed so there are no obstructions for the driver, which is unusual for such a large top.

“A lot went into designing the T-top,” says Lowe. “We had several prototypes with simpler aluminum construction but we were never satisfied with it. So we ended up utilizing carbon fiber and it gives the boat a unique look and feel. It took a lot of time to develop but it was worth the effort.”

Fit & Finish

“The fit and finish is key,” adds Burdick. “We put a lot of thought into the layout with our sailboats as well as the quality and the hardware we use. The lines of a sailboat have to be just right so we’ve been able to bring that look and our understanding of customer wants and needs to the power side of boating. We wanted to bring the same look and image to power boats.”

The early feedback is it is easy to clean and easy to maintain with the curved surfaces and the flow of the interior.

“We share some of the radius and angles to give it the Melges feel,” adds Lowe when asked about the comparison between the sailboat side and the power side. “In the end we wanted it to feel like a Melges boat. I wanted to create a clean boat with nothing to catch on. From a cleaning standpoint it’s fantastic; it’s so easy to wipe down.”

For all the praise the Melges Power 26 has earned, it’s the way the 26-footer performs that deserves the most recognition.

“Before riding in it some people assume they’ll get wet, but it really is a dry boat,” says Lowe. “The spray line goes way back aft and you drive back through the spray. With the more slender design we were able to keep the console forward which created a lot more usable space where some people guess it’s a 28-footer when they first see it. The ride is the special thing about the boat and the efficiency of the hull. It’s an offshore boat with inshore capabilities with the jackplate and 16 inches of draft.

Lowe gained his years of experience while sailings on the biggest stages so he has a better understanding than most when it comes to boating, that it really is all about the ride.

With the helm moved up you could mistake this new boat to be 28 feet long, but the plan all along was to build a 26-foot power boat that could be trailered anywhere.

“The reason we went with 26 feet is we looked at 24 but 26 felt like a size the average person could still tow with an SUV and trailer comfortably,” says Lowe. “I was able to find common ground as I went to the design board and worked on sketches and size. I designed it so I could take it offshore more comfortably.”

Expanding Customers

With such a loyal following from years of being a household name is the sailboat industry some current customers are taking a closer look at this power boat, but Melges is also reporting a lot of interest from new customers familiar with the brand name.

“As far as crossover, we’re seeing a lot of our sailboat customers showing interest and again it goes back to the quality we’re known for,” says Burdick. “Plus we’re getting new customers; generating new customers is, of course, important to our growth.”

The Melges Power 26 comes loaded with standard features including an electric flush toilet that is a reasonable size head for a boat of this size, freshwater system onboard, SeaDeck flooring in your choice of teak color of brown or gray, and what the manufacturer refers to as a glass cockpit with no physical switches with everything operating through the Garmin. With the automatic trim tab option the boat is very easy to drive and with Mercury outboard power you can also have cruise control, which is quickly becoming a must-have option for all boaters. 

“These power boats will be great anywhere, but especially on the Great Lakes ,” concludes Burdick.

What’s Next?

Melges is currently looking to expand its dealer reach while still selling factory-direct. From the esthetics, clean lines, user-friendly design and overall ride, the builder rich in history and tradition with its hands-on approach and outstanding customer service looks poised to tackle the power side of boating the same way it’s built up the sailboat market, by truly building well-built and unique boats for the versatile users who demand more from their boats.

Melges 26 - Powerboat

The new power boat by Melges was created with great passion by some of the most experienced boaters, fisherman, naval architects, structural engineers and boat builders in the world, including teams that have developed America’s Cup and Volvo Ocean Race winning boats. For more than 70 years, Melges has delivered the highest quality performance sailboats available, building a brand name that is second to none in the sailing industry.

No matter your purpose — fishing, recreational watersports, cruising or spectating with friends and family, we are now thrilled to bring this strong collaboration of talent to the all new Melges Power 26. The Melges Power 26 accommodates uo to 12 people.

“Our team at Melges is excited to deliver a power boat that breaks the conventional mold,” said CEO Harry Melges, “Boats should be a joy to drive and a joy to look at.”

Several years of research and development went into the Melges Power 26. Melges utilized scale models, prototypes and all-condition testing to prove the design and construction paths were on target. The result is a beautiful, sleek, simplistic design that is incredible to drive and is true to the Melges brand. We are using a epoxy-infused foam-cored laminate to create a lightweight, efficient hull with brilliant looking centre.

Melges Power - MP 26'

Melges is a company well known in the marine world for building some of the best sailing vessels in the industry for nearly 75 years.  They have now decided to take their knowlege an create a sleek, European style CC, off the beaten path of the industry norm.  “Our team at Melges is excited to deliver a power boat that breaks the conventional mold,” said CEO Harry Melges III, “Boats should be a joy to drive and a joy to look at.”

Several years of research and development went into the Melges Power 26. Melges utilized scale models, prototypes and all-condition testing to prove the design and construction paths were on target. The result is a beautiful, sleek, simplistic design that is incredible to drive and is true to the Melges brand.

We had the pleasure of meeting Andrew Lowe of Melges Power, and he walked us through their well finished, Euro CC.  It was impressive to look under the gunnels and see everything finished all the way up, with nothing exposed.  The design of this boat is something most need some time to get used to, but the squared off bow design has advantages that carry far more weight than just an interesting asthetic look.  Hence, the reason the sailboat industry, and Melges specifically, has used that style for their world traveling racing vessels.  They cut waves unlike most pointy CC's we are used to, and don't even require the conventianal bow flare we know and swear by.

We can only say so much, but taking a sea trial of your own will surely open your eyes to this style of CC, and possible get you to write Melges a deposit check.  ;)

Enjoy the brief walkthrough below and the video from Melges Power showing the MP 26' stretching her legs a bit. 

All the best,
