McKenzie Wins Tight Match-up at Southeast Inland Champs

2024 Melges 24 Southeast Inland Champion Brent McKenzie racing EX-KAHN.

The Southeast Inland Championship, hosted by the Lake Lanier Sailing Club was great success this past weekend, 15 boats raced. This was the third regatta in our North American Sailing series. Six out of town teams and nine local completed on Lake Lanier under super conditions.

Saturday saw some very competitive races after a short delay due to allow the wind to fill in. Three races were ran in 8-12 knots of breeze. Steve Boho’s The 300 led the day with a 6,1,1 score, followed very closely by Corinthian Brent McKenzie’s EX-KAHN.

Sunday, the local sailors caught up in the last 2 races, again in great breeze. McKenzie just beat out Boho in the tie breaker to take the 1st place, Boho finished second, with Will Morang’s Rapscallion in 3rd place.

Thanks to all the participants who traveled from near and far, and most especially a big thanks to a great RC team headed up by Ted McKee! It was a super fun event and high quality racing.
