Lake Garda, two weeks after the Moth Worlds, will once again be hosting a spectacular regatta when over 70 Melges 24s race from Circolo Vela Torbole.

There are just five weeks to go to the 2007 Melges 24 European Championship in Neustadt on Germany's Baltic coast and the closing date for entries is coming up this Friday 20 July so now is the time to take action if you want to avoid paying the hefty Euro 250 late entry fee.

We are delighted to finally announce the dates for the Volvo Melges 24 World Championship 2008 which will be hosted by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, Porto Cervo, Italy from 28 May to 6 June 2008. We are also delighted to confirm that Volvo has agreed to be the title sponsor for the event.

Dear Melges 24 Owners - After spending much time at the recent 2007 World Championships and after a thorough analysis of the Melges 24 mast sheave box problems, we have a plan to minimize the problem for you the Melges 24 owners.

Accommodation is starting to become very short for the Europeans and although some accommodation is still available you need to book right now to secure something.
