We will be experiencing 6 top-notch acts, including the Melges 24 Italian Championship that will allow all national and international professional sailors to challenge themselves in the Italian waters.
The Melges 24 class is also opened to professional helmsmen in the PRO category, this will mean races featured by many famous sailors, making it a PRO and PRO AM pure stamina show.

The introduction of this third class will see from act 1 a ranking made of a M20, a M24 and a  M32 representing different yacht clubs, regions, nations or sponsors.
