Hosted by the Eastport Yacht Club (EYC) in Annapolis, Md. 26 October thru 02 November, this event is already in the record books. With the current 40+ entry list building, it is the largest North American Championship ever held in International Melges 24 Class Association (IMCA) history. Be a part of this mile-marker regatta.

Everyone is encouraged to get their entries in now. On-the-water, the racing excitement will be nothing short of everyone's highest expectation. Off-the-water the 2008 NAC Organizing Authority (OA), EYC in coordination with the IMCA and U.S. Melges 24 Class Association (USMCA) have arranged for plenty of fun-filled social activities, awards and parties.
