M2V, M2O and AAORR and beyond - final session 08/06/10.

Long Distance Offshore Sailing Seminars

The first of the 2010 Long Distance Training and Information Seminars was held at RBYC on February 9, 2010, from 1900hrs. They are purposely designed for things like the acronyms in the headline, which are Melbourne to Vanuatu, Melbourne to Osaka and Bob 'Freight Train' Williams' Around Australia Ocean Race and Rally, as well as any country hopping and South Pacific cruising forays you may be planning.

These will be similar in content and format to the ones held for the 2006 M2V race, but the ORCV will be updating and reviewing all material, so please ensure you are there. Any questions to Sally or Dennis in the office on 03 9689 1622.
