From Beppe Zavonone of the Italian Class - The breeze in the Follonica gulf, on time every afternoon in the first summer days of 2004, didn't fully satisfy the forty Melges24 teams competing in Scarlino.
The deadline for entries for the 2004 Melges 24 Worlds, taking place in Marstrand, Sweden, from 6-13 August 2004, is 12 July so you have less than two weeks to get your entry in and avoid paying the late entry fee.
Tomi Hakola reports from the Swedish Open Championship in Marstrand - Marstrands Segelsllskap organised a fantastic event from the 18th to 20th of June in Marstrand Sweden. The course area was the same as it will be during the Worlds - just 2 nautical miles from the harbour!
Calling all Melges 24 owners, sailors and enthusiasts! Please take a moment and tell us how you really feel about attending and traveling to Melges 24 regattas around the US. We want to know what is most or least important to you when deciding to attend an event.
Thanks to the efforts of Carlo Vroon of NED122 the Melges 24 Class has been invited to race at one of the Netherland's major sportsboat regattas for the first time. The Breskens Sportboat Races will take place in Breskens on 28 & 29 August 2004 and all Melges 24 teams are invited to compete.
