The Melges 24 Class is really taking off in Hungary where the Hungarian Melges 24 Class is now running an annual regatta series on Lake Balaton (where the water really is the same turquoise blue that you get off Key West!).

The fifty-one international teams, who had travelled from across North America and Europe to compete in the Sheehy Lexus of Annapolis 2009 Melges 24 World Championships, finally got the welcome opportunity to race in double-digit breezes on the final day of the regatta.

We're all set for a great final day show down here in Annapolis with up to three more races to sail and all to play for at the top of the fleet.
