There really is no where better to be in mid January than Melges Racing in Key West so start making your plans now and be there for 2003. Melges 24s made Key West history with their record breaking World Championship fleet of 77 last January and we expect another terrific turnout this year.
From Andy Burdick - Lets roll your Melges 24 to Florida for the winter of 2003. The Big 3 are established and ready for your participation. The Melges 24 Winter Series will kick off in Jacksonville, Florida.
