The U.S. Melges 24 Class is thrilled to announce that Online Registration is officially open for the 2025 U.S. National Championship, hosted by Pensacola Yacht Club (PYC) on November 14-16, 2025. Two additional days, November 12-13, are reserved for early arrival, on-site check-in, and practice racing.

As Event No. 9 of 10 on the 2025 North American Sailing Series (NASS), it marks the penultimate stop on the circuit and sets the stage for an intense, real-time showdown ahead of the North American Championship taking place approximately one month later, in December on Biscayne Bay.

The Nationals is being held in conjunction with PYC's legendary Bushwhacker Cup, where sailors are treated daily to their namesake frozen cocktail after racing. The PYC's tradition of hospitality, paired with pristine race conditions on beautiful Pensacola Bay, makes this destination a National Class favorite year after year.
