Plans are under way for the 2024 Melges 24 World Championship on the beautiful San Francisco Bay, hosted by The San Francisco Yacht Club.

This Sunday, March 31, is the deadline to take advantage of the $100 early registration discount.

Considering competing at Worlds? Here are a few of the many reasons to get on the entry list:

• Guaranteed breeze on SF Bay with no crew weight limits - skip the pre-worlds team fast!

• Ripping downwind runs...set a hull-speed PR. Close your eyes and hear the Sail GP commentary in the background screaming, "How's your boat handling, Jimmy Spithill?"

• California Dreamin'! Book your Tour de California on the water with Melges 24 US Nationals in Santa Barbara in July and the Pacific Coast Championship at Richmond Yacht Club on the same course just two weeks before Worlds (practice, anyone?!). Plus, easy truck and boat storage between regattas is available.

• New amenities at the SFYC. The oldest yacht club west of the Mississippi River knows how to run an epic regatta on and off the water. Outside of our world-class facilities, we're talking swag bags, beer boats, mai tais and sunny apres-racing socials.

• Really cool merch! August 20-24, 2024, for the Melges24 Worlds...

The 2024 Worlds is designed by sailors, for sailors, with a pure focus on what makes a regatta great from the competitors' perspective. Register this week to snag the $100 registration discount - extra funds for SF24 swag.

Let us know how we can help your team plan for Melges 24 Worlds.
