Zenda, Wisc. – The 2010 Detroit NOOD has concluded featuring two powerful divisions of fun, fast, easy to sail Melges sportboats — the forever awe-inspiring Melges 24 and Audi Melges 20.

In the Audi Melges 20 fleet, 2009 defending Detroit NOOD Champion Chuck Holzman on Flyer came on strong to win the highly-contested division. With a clean string of firsts, seconds and thirds, a fourth in race six was his worst score. With only seven teams attending, Charleston Race Week Champion Michael Kiss on Bacio and especially, Eric Wynsma on Superfly proved to be his toughest competition. In the end, Kiss overtook for second overall and Wynsma settled in for third.

Next event for the 2010 Audi Melges 20 fleet is USA Sailing Series Event No. 6, taking place in Toronto, Canada on June 18-20. Online Registration is available for those ready to rock. There is plenty more racing to come. View The 2010 Audi Melges 20 Racing Schedule.
