Fall Racing Calls: Registration Open for the 2026 Melges 24 Fall Champs
Online registration is now open for the 2026 Melges 24 Fall Championship, set for October 3–4 at Lake Geneva Yacht Club in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
For teams looking to add one more great regatta to the calendar this season, Lake Geneva is hard to beat. The Fall Championship delivers everything Melges 24 sailors love—competitive one-design racing, a world-class venue and a spectacular setting—wrapped into a relaxed, low-key fall weekend.
Not headed to the Melges 24 World Championship? This is the perfect opportunity to keep racing. Coming off Worlds and not quite ready to put the boat away? Even better.
Lake Geneva holds a special place in Melges 24 history. Located just minutes from Melges Performance Sailboats in Zenda, Wisconsin, it is truly home waters for the Melges 24. And with Lake Geneva Yacht Club set to host the 2027 Melges 24 U.S. National Championship, this year’s Fall Championship offers teams an early opportunity to experience the venue, get familiar with the lake and see firsthand what makes racing here so special.
Beautiful fall scenery, a legendary sailing destination, great competition and a relaxed atmosphere—it’s a pretty compelling way to spend an October weekend.
Registration is open now. Make plans, bring the boat and come race Lake Geneva.
