Scarlino,
Italy - Sixty international Melges 20 teams representing an impressive
16 nations are currently registered for the forthcoming World
Championship taking place at Marina di Scarlino/Club Nautico Scarlino on 24-28 August. This number ultimately writes a new chapter in International Melges 20 Class Association (IM20CA) history as it is the highest attendance level ever.
This
marquee Class event comes after the completion of the first half of the
2016 racing season, a journey that started in January at the Miami Winter Series. Since then, nine 2016 World Ranking
events have been completed and the playing field has been defined. But
the Worlds is unlike any other event in which victory is controlled by
pressure, stakes and the desire for affirmation.
As
usual, the racing will be of the highest quality. Between the buoys, an
excellent international panel of race officers and umpires, and a
measurement team with rigorous enforcement will ensure pure one-design
racing - an essential standard in the Melges 20 Class.
Shoreside, the amazing Melges Europe
Team will have a presence devoted strictly to Melges 20 owners and
dedicated to delivering their signature 'boat ready to sail at the dock'
service. Top notch technical service and customer support will be also
be available.
Club Nautico Scarlino and Marina di Scarlino
have rolled out the red carpet for competitors. A welcoming reception
and memorable social events overlooking the Gulf of Follonica in the
heart of Tuscany await the fleet.
The
2016 Melges 20 World Championship is a show not only reserved for those
who are fortunate to be racing, but fans all around the world will have
maximum access to full media coverage. As always, 'live from the water'
updates that include results, photos and commentary will be readily
available on the Melges 20 Facebook Page.
In addition, get ready for livestreaming interviews with the main
players on the docks, and some hot, new innovative 3-D tracking created
and made available by Barracuda Communication - the official technical
