Racing

There are two Winter Series events to aim for March 1-3 and April 12-14. The events will be run by the Clube Navale de Cascais in partnership with Portuguese Melges dealer, SailCascais. The racing will take place Friday-Sunday. Sailors from around the world are encouraged to compete!

Debriefs

Vasco Serpa, SailCascais, and Eddie Cox, Melges, will be leading post-race debriefs.

Cascais

The picturesque coastal town of Cascais, Portugal, known as an iconic sailing venue on the west coast of Europe, is set to welcome the Melges 15 Class. The events will be run out of Clube Naval de Cascais, a venue that has previously hosted ISAF worlds, America's Cup events, and, more recently, the TP52 World Championships.

Cascais offers easy access to warm-weather winter sailing. A 25€ Uber from Lisbon Airport takes travelers to Cascais in 25 minutes.

There is no shortage of accommodation options from 5-star hotels to Airbnbs within a short walk to the venue. With great golf courses, mountain biking, surfing, historic monuments, and amazing food, sailors, family, and friends can expect great fun and memories on and off the water.

Start a Fleet

It's not too late to make plans for Summer 2024! Melges and its dealers are offering fleet deals for orders of three or more boats. Email to bring a demo boat to your club and introduce members to the Melges 15 Class.
