Don Wilson (USA) and his Convexity team won the 2024 Melges 24 World Championship on August 20-24 in San Francisco, CA. Thirty-one entrants from five nation competed in the 12-race series, with Bora Gulari (USA) finishing one point off the lead in second, while Croatian Ante Botica was 13th overall as the top Corinthian team.
After four days of competitive racing on Berkeley Circle in San Francisco Bay, the fifth and final day offered two races to determine the title. Gulari won the first race, which placed him just one point behind Wilson, setting up a nail-biting finale. In the final race, Gulari and Wilson engaged in a match race but they both finished in the teens which would be their discard race.
Alongside Wilson was tactician Jeremy Wilmot and crew members Ian Liberty, Edward Hackney, and Tomas Dietrich.
The 2025 World Championship will be late August or early September in Trieste, Italy.
