2020 ORCV Cock of the Bay - Shorten Course

For those that love to sail, we offer a great opportunity to shake off 2020 on Boxing Day with the ORCV Cock of the Bay and a shortened course. This year the race has been shortened to 22nm finishing off Mornington allowing you time to cruise home in time for sunset drinks or onto other locations. Come enjoy the fun and a sail and have a #covidsafesummer and join the ORCV Cock of the Bay.

We needed to adjust the course this year due to Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron advising us of their COVID 19 policy and procedures which included limited berthing and no rafting. They were also unable to provide the traditional hospitality to yachts and crew competing in this year's ORCV Cock of the Bay yacht race.

We are committed to making this race happen. We invite you to be part of the great dash across the Bay and as they say there is no better way to work off the excesses of Christmas the day before.

The course starts near Station Pier in Port Melbourne and is designed to sail past major bayside locations for sailors and spectators alike to view. We currently have more than 60 yachts entered and there are great vantage points for family, friends and spectators at Port Melbourne, St Kilda pier, Brighton Pier, Sandringham and Hampton foreshore to watch you sail.

The ORCV Cock of the Bay is a great day out on the water and way to enjoy summer. Let’s all say goodbye to 2020 in a fun way.
