Melges 24 Teams please be advised:

WEIGH-IN
The originally planned weigh-in for Sperry Charleston Race Week 2017 has been canceled. With this cancellation, all teams are reminded that IM24CA Rules are very much still in effect despite no weigh-in in advance of the racing this weekend. Please know that your team may be protested if overweight, disqualified. 

2017 CLASS MEMBERSHIP
We still have a few teams that need to take care of 2017 Class Membership. Please take care of this in advance if at all possible. If you need to join onsite in Charleston, please know that only cash and/or checks made payable to U.S. Melges 24 Class will be accepted. Membership packages will be available at registration if you have not already received yours.

Per the International Melges 24 Class Association Rules, PART I - ADMINISTRATION, Section B - BOAT ELIGIBILITY, B.2.1:
“The owner and helmsman shall be a current member of their NCA or, where there is no NCA in his country, a member of the ICA or and NCA nominated by the ICA.” Therefore, 2017 Class Membership is required for every team that races at Sperry Race Week.
