Winter Series Overall winner (Lord Warden’s Trophy) 2016 awarded to Hugh Ellis & Gary Caulfield joint skippers and owners of Avalanche.

The ORCV was pleased to announce High Ellis and Gary Caulfield as winners of the 2016 Winter Series. 

As can be seen from the results table shown below, Hugh and Gary on Avalanche clearly had the lowest series score, in both IRC and AMS across both divisions 1 and 2.  Well done to The Bookmaker for second place and Schuss for third place on a countback.

Avalanche is a recently built hybrid design with a Hick designed & built hull with an existing Farr 40 deck & rig.  It is great to see them getting good results with it. 

Having completed the 2015 Sydney to Hobart, we are hoping to see Avalanche competing in some of our upcoming ORCV off shore races.

Well done from all of us at the ORCV.
