ISAF has now confirmed that the requested changes to Melges 24 Class Rules G.4.2 (jib zip luff), C.7.2 (rear gate line deflection) and C.4 (advertising) have been approved to come into force on 15 March 2012.

What a finale to the Inaugural Riviera and Copyworld Melges 24 South Australian State Titles. The sun shone on an amazing day of racing on the Gulf of St Vincent, Adelaide. Final two races on day three were nail biters.

Melges 24 sailors are reminded that the change to Class Rule 2.2 governing crew weights will not come into force until 15 March 2012.

At the IMCA AGM on 19 November 2011 the World Council voted to revise ruleC.7.2.(A)(5) to reduce the hiking line deflection. Although the principle of this rule change was agreed, the exact amount of deflection, if any, could not be decided without further testing.

Today was a hot final day of racing with the dolphins on Corio Bay, Geelong, at the Parks Victoria 2012 Melges 24 Australian Championship.

The fleet was back in Corio Bay for day three of the Parks Victoria Melges 24 Australian Championships, hot sun and a light to moderate South Easterly breeze set the scene for three windward leeward races. The fleet seem to get closer together the more races they complete.
