ORCV Latest News
Club Marine Series, Day Six - Eveready Batteries.
Are the ones that go on and on and on. So then, here we are with even more of Divisions Two and Three from the last round of the Club Marine Series. All pics © Steb Fisher.
ORCV Committee Member, Marissa McManus and Hush were always going to get the hero pic spot with this lovely boom sticker placement. Well done and cheers.
All right then, it only seems appropriate to keep going with the Hush theme... Here they are coming into the bottom mark area.
As a complete aside, one of the members of the 70's glam rock band, Hush, is Les Gock and he went on to become one of the country's most prolific jingle writers.
One busy little Vegemite - Marissa has to fly the kite and retrieve it too! (which we saw in the hero pic, earlier)
I think this is Peter Chalkley driving. Please advise, I am sorry, I have never met you, so wouldn't know...
Colours, sunshine, gentle breeze and blue water - let's go for a yacht!
Two guys and kite pole. So many lines...
Let the sermon begin!
Firefox, in case you had not worked it out from the earlier pics...
Smashing cheese and biscuits. Great image composition and colours, Steb.
Marvellous red.
"So like, he went that way and we went over here and they still got to the bottom before us..."
Anyone need a plumber?
Alien leads Can Can downhill.
ORCV Stalwarts, Magic. They loved their first time on these pages during the Artsy Fartsy article of the inaugural M2G.
I met Phillip for the first time just recently, at King Island. Hello mate.
Looking very much like a smaller White Swan. Quelle Surprise about that, huh.
Ingara clipping along in towards the top mark.
Ingara with a KA kite - now that's old!
More S80 action - they're everywhere... Our Jack Tar buddies popping into view, between them and mark, eh Robbie!
Good Question, this time.
Must have been shirts off Saturday - no one told us.
Must have been raising more money for the kids! How much did you make?
As part of the Adams Family. The Collective Nouns thread is HERE and HERE and HERE too.
Great, close-in crew shots, Steb.
Sm1068 = Copyright, which is just a great segue to say thanks to one of our regular readers, Ian Lindsay, who is a Patent Attorney at Watermark. He sails with the BO - kite has to be up - boys.
Salt Shaker approaching the top mark.
Almost hero pic, just because it is such a good image, Steb. This person should buy this pic from you or we will have to consider our options....
Two more of Salt Shaker - the red works well.
Go Scotch!
Clean up the kite gear and you're done.
All very nice really... the Beneteau people would be happy with you.
Rhiannon are having a good time on the scoreboard.
Good.
Better.
Magic racing really. The Bay is good when it's good, all right...
This didn't improve dramatically as they got there. the two having kite issues ended up all in a fluster and coming back into the course was the best solution.
Classic Steb, Bowman, wave and colour. Bellablu here.
The FDU would love this for the famous two sided Tshirt. I'm busy - all right!!!
Pole end up?
Sm5533 = Barinya. Good stuff from the mastman, looking at the heady as it goes into the foil. Bonus points for you!
Yellow everywhere.
Now the trimmer just has to buy this one!!!
Kite trimmer gets bonus points for the neck crane too!
Watermark coming down in front of ??? I know she's not a ketch!
Watermark going in - nice wave.
Could be paint here. As the V bugs said - "You scratched my ride!"
Intended winward drop - right?
More Young Lions.
I'm sure everyone can read the transom from here.
Nice.
XX
Great stuff with Carbine here.
What a glorious way to finish the Div 2 & 3 stuff out.
"... on the cover of a magazine", went the line in Madonna's Vogue.
The cover and a couple of the internal images in the April edition of Cruising Helmsman are by none other than our mate, Steb Fisher. Well done pal!
...and here is the man himself. Thank you to Chris Furey for the pic, taken when the Love Boat went past the start boat.
Divisions Two and Three are now complete. So what's next?
