ORCV Helly Hansen Melbourne to Launceston (M2L from 27/12/11)

First winner.

At 13:34:18, Arch Rival crossed the line to become the first finisher in Tasmania from the busy Australian sailing calendar. Now they just have to go up the wonderful Tamar River from the Low Head finish line and they can begin the celebrations.

They will be looking forward to that, the beer and geting their hands (albeit very briefly) on the magnificent Rudder Cup.

Well done to John Hall and co on Arch Rival and to our wonderful sponsor, Helly Hansen.
