The Melges 24 will be on display at the Dusseldorf Boat Show which starts this Saturday 23 January and runs through until 31 January 2010. The boat, which has been kindly provided by the Dutch Melges 24 dealers Jachtwerf Ruyten, will be displayed in Hall 17 on Stand A58.

At the Extraordinary General Meeting of the IMCA World Council held on Tuesday 12 January the proposal to change Class Rule C.9.7 was formally approved by the meeting. The rule change has subsequently been approved by ISAF and will come into force in time for ACURA Key West Race Week 2010.
