San Francisco Yacht Club and the San Francisco Melges 24 Fleet are preparing for an influx of Melges 24 teams from around the Globe as they ready themselves for the 2012 Melges 24 North American Championship, which takes place from 22-26 August.

With the end of the last practice race, the official training for the 2012 Melges 24 World Championship, organised by Circolo Vela Torbole and the International Melges 24 Class Association, is complete.

The countdown for the start of the Melges 24 World Championship is quickly approaching zero.

Along with the fight for the overall title, that will involve at least ten very strong crews and a good number of outsiders, the 2012 Melges 24 World Championship in Torbole, the stage will also be set for another battle: the one aimed at the conquest of the Corinthian title.

Torbole, one of the venues most appreciated by the Melges 24's specialists, is preparing for what promises to be perhaps the most important event in the history of the one design produced by Melges Performance Sailboats.

With 65 boats from17 nations taking part last weekend's Volvo Cup in Riva, the final event in this year's Melges 24 Volvo Cup series, was the perfect warm up event for the forthcoming Melges 24 World Championship.
