2026 Melges 24 European Championship – Tønsberg, Norway
The 2026 Melges 24 European Championship will be held in Tønsberg, Norway, hosted by Tønsberg Seilforening in late August and early September.
Tønsberg, Norway’s oldest town, is a picturesque coastal city in the Vestfold og Telemark region, located approximately 100 km south of Oslo. Steeped in Viking history, Tønsberg is known for its stunning waterfront, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant sailing community.
Tønsberg Seilforening has a strong reputation for developing top-tier sailors, particularly in one-design racing. The waters of Tønsberg offer a dynamic mix of conditions influenced by the North Sea, ranging from light air to strong winds, ensuring a challenging and tactical racing environment. It is located in the Oslofjord, which provides more sheltered waters compared to the open North Sea.
Competing against a strong bid from Yacht Club Sanremo, Italy, Tønsberg ultimately won the vote, securing 40 votes in favor.
