Press Release from the USMCA - Annapolis, Md.; Eastport Yacht Club - The changing of the leaves nor winter's chill has no effect on the U.S. Melges 24 Fleet in Annapolis, Md.

Although there is still one event to be sailed for the German Ranking we can already confirm the German Ranking 2007 is a success story. The Europeans 2007 gave the German fleet a massive boost and in the actual ranking we have placed 47 boats which have sailed at least in one of the events.

A 15 - 25kt northerly breeze made for a solid first days competition for the Comer Homes Melges 24 UK Championships in Weymouth Bay on Friday 28 September.
