A great time was had by all, and the weather was perfect! A very special thanks from the International Audi Melges 20 Class Association and Melges Europe to the gracious and hospitable Bayerischer Yacht Club. Their hospitality was phenomenal! A very special thanks to Ralph Wood, BYC Harbor Master and Board Member that assisted in organizing this amazing weekend and, most especially to all the club members who joined in on the fun.
