There are just three races left to sail on the final day of the Melges 24 World Championship before a new name will be written in the Melges 24 Hall of Fame.  Today in Torbole the potential winners began to emerge and with three more races still to sail the stage is set for a thrilling finale.

Today's Melges 24 Worlds action on Lake Garda was fast, furious and fantastic fun.  With six races now complete the discard came into play and the Gold and Silver fleets were decided.  Up to six more races are scheduled so the battle continues to rage as the teams attempt to gain any advantage they can whilst avoiding potentially very costly mistakes.

After yesterday's storms, today Torbole welcomed the Melges 24 World Championship fleet in style, first with a strong  Peler wind from the north and later in the day with the famous Ora from the south, allowing the Race Committee to run two further races for the four qualification groups sailing in two fleets.

The second day of the Melges 24 Worlds brought plenty of sun tanning, but very sadly no racing, as a most unusual weather system meant that Torbole was not able to deliver her legendary Ora wind today.  The Race Committees on the two race courses both made several attempts to start racing, but the wind refused to cooperate forcing them to hoist the AP flag and wait for a wind that never came.
