REGISTRATION OPEN FOR 2025 EAST COAST CHAMPIONSHIP
2024 East Coast Championship in Annapolis, MD
Registration is open for the 2025 Melges 15 East Coast Championship May 30-June 1 at Centerport Yacht Club in Centerport, NY. Competitors can save on the entry fee through April 10, 2025.
Long Island has been a hotbed of activity for Melges 15 Class growth in 2024-25, with nearly two dozen new boats being delivered to American Yacht Club, Pequot Yacht Club, Noroton Yacht Club, and Indian Harbor Yacht Club.
“After years of searching for the right boat to reorganize Centerport Yacht Club's most passionate racers, several members agreed to jump into the Melges 15 together. A number of design aspects drew us in, and the experience has been better than any of us imagined,” said Regatta Chair and 2023 U.S. National Champion, John Storck.
“The boat has been a wonderful platform for our diverse fleet to thrive and grow. We are thrilled to host the 2025 ECCs and welcome everyone to our Club, nestled in beautiful Northport Bay.”
Three days of racing are scheduled alongside shoreside parties and a fleet dinner.
