Melges 20 World League in Italy - Day 1

by International Melges 20 Class Association 20 Apr 2018 21:22 BST 20-22 April 2018

With so much excitement for the start of the 2018 Melges 20 World League, there was unfortunately no breeze at Forio d'Ischia on the opening day, prompting AP over Alpha - racing cancelled for the day. Thirty Melges 20 teams will try again tomorrow to kick off the 2018 season.

Despite the lack of breeze, the Mozzarella Party goes on, hosted in the Melges World League Regatta Village. Fresh mozzarella was provided by Costanzo, beer by Nastro Azzurro, and wine compliments of Cenatiempo.

The first warning for Saturday is 11.00. The Melges World League is supported by Helly Hansen, Toremar, North Sails, Garmin Marine and Lavazza. We are also thankful for the support of our local partners Alilauro, Medmar, Nastro Azzurro, Costanzo, Cenatiempo.

Melges World League has signed and adopts the code of ethics of the Charta Smerarlda strongly promoting the values of One Ocean Foundation.

The Melges World League is the ultimate one-design competition, uniting the Melges owners across the globe into one streamlined championship system. It is a season-long series that includes regattas hosted at the world's most desirable venues, featuring sailing's best owner/drivers and Corinthian sailors throughout North America, Europe and Asia.
