The Melges24 QUANTUM RACING team helmed by Terry Hutchinson used the standard Quantum Melges 24 FUSION M upwind sails and the R1 and R2 spinnakers to win the 50 boat St. Pete NOOD regatta this past weekend.

Quantum sails were on quite a few of the top teams and turned a lot of heads with yet another great performance. The Quantum Racing Melges24 Team has now done three events including a win at the North East District Champs, a 3rd at the Atlantic Coast Champs and now another win at the St. Pete NOOD.

The 2008 Quantum Melges 24 sails are setting the standard in the class with the best technology and design. The downwind sails cover all the ranges and our R1 Reacher Asymmetrical is the fastest reacher in the class as tested last weekend. The St. Pete NOOD was sailed in mostly light conditions under 8 knots where the R1 is designed to perform. The sail is flatter and designed for the tighter angles the M24 sails in these conditions. In one race this sail enabled us to sail past 20+ boats in one leg!
