Devoti Sailing have just launched a new photographic accessories guide for the Melges 24 on their web site. The guide includes a full site search engine to help you find what you are looking for and each listing includes a thumbnail picture to help you identify the correct parts when ordering.
From Paul Manning At Devoti Sailing - Dear Melges 24 Sailors, As part of our commitment to the Melges 24 class, Devoti Sailing will have staff attending the World Championship in Marstrand.
From Beppe Zavonone of the Italian Class - The breeze in the Follonica gulf, on time every afternoon in the first summer days of 2004, didn't fully satisfy the forty Melges24 teams competing in Scarlino.
The deadline for entries for the 2004 Melges 24 Worlds, taking place in Marstrand, Sweden, from 6-13 August 2004, is 12 July so you have less than two weeks to get your entry in and avoid paying the late entry fee.
