2018 Melbourne to Osaka Race- Decision re Multihull Participation

The three organising clubs for the event met on the weekend to discuss preparations for the next race and make some key decisions. One big decision was about whether or not to include multi hulls.

After much discussion and consideration a vote was held and a decision made that multi hulls would not be included in the 2018 race but may be included in future races once the Australian ocean racing community becomes more experienced with them. The ORCV will welcome multi hull participation and hopes to learn more from the multi hull competitors.

Apologies to any multis who expressed an interest in the event.
