Dear World Council members of the International Melges 24 Class Association,
I am very much looking forward to our next Annual General Meeting in November, where we will come together to discuss matters of importance to our class and its members.
This year, for the first time in over six years, the AGM will be held as a hybrid meeting on Saturday, November 22, 2025. We will meet in person in Milan, Italy while those unable to travel will be able to join us via Zoom. The meeting will be open to all NCAs and members of the Executive Committee.
In preparation, our Technical Committee will meet on October 8 in conjunction with the Extraordinary General Meeting. During that session, the committee will review and explain proposals for Class Rule and Constitution changes, along with other key topics.
We are also all eagerly anticipating our 26th edition of the Melges 24 World Championship, to be hosted by Yacht Club Adriaco in Trieste, Italy, from September 20 to 27, 2025—the largest Worlds fleet since Miami 2016. While in Trieste, we will also hold an Owners’ Open Meeting, providing a great opportunity for direct exchange with class leadership. The agenda and discussion points will be announced soon.
The AGM is an important occasion for the World Council to:
Consider and decide on proposals to the Class Rules and Regulations
Elect officers of the Association
Select venues for future championships
I look forward to your active participation and to welcoming you, whether in Milan or online, at this year’s AGM. But before that - see you soon in Trieste!
With kind regards,
Laura Grondin
Chair, IM24CA
