From Scott Gregory - Congratulations to When Pigs Fly for winning the 2004 Melges 24 SE Championship. Skipper Ryan Hamm, along with trimmer and partner L.S. Carper, tactician Mike Miller and crew Marielle Mar Charette had a fantastic year and ended the season with a commanding lead.

At last the results are in! Over two hundred surveys were completed and submitted for the very first ever International Melges 24 Class Association Online Survey.

The FFV Championship of France in association with November in Hyres was completed Monday 1 November, marked by the return of the Hyrois sun, with a total of 7 races completed of which 6 scores counted.

On the first day of the Championship of France FFV-November a Hyres Regatta the Melges 24 sailors completed 4 races run in an east wind from 8 to 15 knots. Bruno Jourdren takes the head of the 33 crews from 6 nations, but the scores are extremely close and the Championship remains very open!

There's just over a week to go until the last major event of the European Season, the Novembre a Hyeres Regatta in Hyeres, France. With the 2006 Worlds scheduled for Hyeres interest in this regatta is running higher than ever and teams from across Europe will be competing.

The Devoti Sailing sponsored International Melges 24 Survey will close on 29 October so you've got just 10 days to give us your views. We've already had a great response of well over 200 completed surveys but we're keen to get as many of you as possible taking part.
