THE MELGES 14 GUIDE
This guide will help you familiarize yourself with the rigging, parts !
and maintenance of the Melges 14 Full Range, Mid-range and Youth
Range rigs. The different sail sizes utilize different mast tips and !
different outhaul front spectra lengths to make the switch through !

identify what you have.
