There are just four days to go until the closing date for standard rate entries for the 2009 Melges 24 European Championship, which takes place in Hyeres, France from 21-28 August 2009.
For the second time the Swiss Open was hosted by Segler Vereinigung Kreuzlingen - 13 boats signed in but 2 boats had to withdraw due to some illness of crews. Any way 11 boats are not so bad as the Swiss Class is just starting to set up their own events.
Please note that the entry deadline for the Melges 24 European Championship, which takes place in Hyeres, France from August 21-28,is just two weeks away on Friday 3 July 2009.
