EXLence
We are TEAM EXLence.
We get together for the thrill of the race, or we spend time together for exchanging ideas and learn from each other.
Sometimes we think together as One.
The Boats
MELX III – 5.5mIC modern
Since our initial involvement with the 5.5mR class – that was with LIZZA, which is a classic boat – we were intrigued with the modern designs available. These are very powerful boats, fast in the water and exciting to race. We initially chartered one modern and raced it at the 2019 German Open.
LIZZA – 5.5mIC classic
LIZZA is a 5.5mIC boat designed by Willem de Vries Lentsch Jr. and built in 1952 in the Netherlands at the G. de Vries Lentsch en Werf Het Fort te Nieuwendam, from mahogany on oak ribs.
MELX II – Synergia 40
With participations in Pan European and World Championships in Spain, Italy, France, up to 2010 as SAIOLA IV – in later years has been taking part in tough competition in Greek Waters, as the Aegean Rally, the North Aegean Rally, the Aegean Regatta, the National Championship and in numerous other races.
MELX – MELGES 32
A turbo charged racer from the drawing board of Reichel/Pugh Yacht Design, build in the USA. An amazingly fast boat, good fun to race, but very wet !!!!

AON – MUMM 30
The first pure racing boat of the Team. Amazing in reaching and running conditions. Winner of the 45th Aegean Rally under IRC, the smallest boat ever to win this very demanding Rally. Excellent fun, high speeds and despite its small size, a very solid offshore boat.
GORGOSSIFOUNAS – BENETEAU 473
An ideal boat to race short handed. Designed by Groupe Finot, a good all around performer, with blue water capabilities, that allowed the crew to live-in after the race, in a very luxurious set up. Sailing as it once was.
WHO WE ARE
We are a team. And as they say, a team is more than the sum of its parts -the individual members, of the team.
The Team
