Introducing the Melges 15 Championship Series
The Melges 15 Class is excited to announce its Championship Series. These are class-sanctioned and Melges-supported events designed to enhance competition, promote regional activity, and foster camaraderie among racers.
The Championship Series highlights the premiere annual events starting with the Winter Series and concluding with the National Championship. These events have historically attracted more than 60 boats, and highlight fleet development and a vibrant social scene. Starting in 2024, Melges 15 sailors will have a consistent annual event schedule to look forward to.
“Encouraging growth on a regional level can help to build stronger local fleets and create opportunities for more frequent racing and training,” explained Eddie Cox, Melges Performance Sailboats. “And fostering camaraderie among racers can create a supportive and inclusive environment that encourages more people to get involved in the sport.”
