Melges 32 fleet growing and getting better.

This past July 23th to 27th the 2008 National Championship was held on the waters of Newport , R.I. The starting line saw 22 boats where porfessional and amateur talent fought hard on each race. Jeff Ecklund and the crew of Star won the regatta and crowned 2008 National Champions. Kuddos to Jeff and the Melges guys, as well as all the boat owners and crew for being so supportive and serious about what they do. It has been a great example of organization and passion for our sport. It is true that is not the cheapest boat on the market, but that has not been an obstruction for the class to keep growing at a very decent pace and even more having calender busy enough to keep everybody busy all year round. Example to follow. Results available here.
