June 20, 2016 - Borstahusen, Sweden - Melges 24 Sweden invites Melges 24 sailors from all over Europe to take part from the Melges 24 Open Swedish Championship to be hosted by Borstahusens Segelsällska (40 km to North from Malmö), on August 5-7. A great fleet of 26 teams entered already from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Germany. Early Bird Entry Deadline is June 25! This could be a wonderful option to train and compete in a bigger fleet for the Europeans in Hyeres in the beginning of September!
The event is perfectly organised and the PRO has been the race officer of Louis Vuitton Cup when this took place in Malmö. 26 boats from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Germany and Denmark entered so far - see the entry list here. Teams who would like to participate, are kindly asked to enter and arrange their payment until June 25 to save some money. Entry will be open after this date as well, but an entry fee will be slightly higher. Take this chance to enter now!
For late entries who are interested in a cheap accommodation there is a house of scouts that can be shared with several crews. Reservations shall be made at info@borstahusens-ss.se Read for more about accommodation here .
