With just eleven days to go to the start of the Melges 24 European Championship, being held in association with Rolex Baltic Race Week, a record 79 entries are now confirmed on the rosta.

77 Melges 24 entered for the 5th leg of the Volvo Cup, at Torbole on lake Garda, including a number of America's Cup and Olympic sailors from across Europe.

Fast and spectacular but also constant in its value - that is the simple formula for the enormous success of the Melges 24. World Champions, Olympic medal winners or America's Cup sailors, they are all fascinated by the high-tech yacht that was launched 14 years ago.
