An overcast sky, showers and light, variable conditions couldnt dampen the enthusiasm of the Melges 24 Class at Yachting Key West Race Week today. Race one kicked off in around 14 knots north-east, but shortly after the start a shower front came through dropping the breeze back to under 10 knots.

The key to our day was that we got out there as soon as we could and sailed up wind a bit and got tuned up for the conditions. It was a light to medium breeze but relatively flat water so not too difficult to keep the boat moving.

With over 60 boats entered the Melges 24 class will be the biggest competing at Yachting Key West Race Week, which starts this Monday 15 January.
