Please note that Notice Of Race Ammendment No 1 for the 2009 Melges 24 European Championship has now been published at the event web site. This change ammends the time of the first start for the practise races on Sunday 23rd August and the first day of racing on Monday 24th August to 1300.

A few years ago Norwegian sailors Stian Briseid and Marius Falch Orvin established an all amateur Melges 24 team with the goal of challenging for the Corinthian World Championship.

Most Melges 24 owners will have at some time considered sponsorship as a potential means of offsetting the cost of campaigning their boat on the regatta circuit. Indeed on the US and European circuits, hulls and sails displaying sponsors decals are a familiar site these days.

Last month we set UKA UKA Racing's Jonathan McKee a series of challenging theoretical tactical scenarios to try to extricate himself from.

The Nordic Melges 24 Classes invite you to join them for a great regatta and an excellent chance to practice on the same waters as the Worlds 2010. The 2009 Melges24 Nordic Championship will be held from the 31st of July to the 2nd of August in Tallinn, Estonia.
