ORCV Melbourne to Stanley (M2S)

Peachy!!!

As in really wet and juicy. Well. It might all be in a state of flux and the tracks show some fairly different ideas as the PredictWind models try to actually determine the outcome of these interesting weather systems. The bit I like is the percentage of time with the breeze on the nose - zero. Me likey that - a lot! May it all come true and may the record be threatened - Peter Blake's Kontrol @ 14:36:15. Let's see...

PredictWind's five day forecast for Point Lonsdale.

PW for King Island.

PW for Stanley.

Some fairly wide variances in the tracks from the different PredictWind models for a Beneteau First 40.

Reaching won't suit this particular type of 40 something, but that is what they're gonna get!!!

PW tracks for a Santa Cruz 52 to show what the pointy end of the fleet will be up to. Get the next Bag ready!!! Why? We look like we might need it.

8 to 20knots and reaching - hope BBB's crew are reading this!!!! Less of the 8 and more of the 20 eh?!!!!

Cannot wait for the first sked to see what has actually occurred.

Enjoy the sail...
