The Strictly Sail Boat Show, which takes place from 1 - 4 February in Chicago, will feature Melges 24 number 500 on the Melges Performance Sailboats stand. "This is a special show for us because we will be showing off Melges 24 500", says Melges President Harry Melges.

The final day of Yachting Key West Race Week did not bring the hoped for increase in breeze but there was a change in the wind which swung round to the South East for the first time and came in at a steady 10-12 knots.

Conditions today were very trying on the Melges 24 course as we were racing in 5-10 knots with a lot of chop. Many times the crew was inside the boat while pounding through large swell.

Another light airs day at Yachting Key West Race Week saw Morgan Reeser consolidate his overall lead after the fifth Melges 24 race. The race was lead from the first mark by Tony Wattson, who made a brilliant first beat then successfully defended his position right round the course.
