The Irish Melges 15 Association has a number of great events planned for 2026 in Ireland and overseas.
A goal of the committee, chaired by new class president Jamie Tingle, is to host one class event each month from April through September to supplement the existing local summer racing. Vakaros RaceSense will be used at all class events having proven its value and added to the enjoyment and efficiency of racing.
