ORCV Melbourne to King Island (M2KI as part of the MMOC)

Just make mine Black!

All rightey then.

As M2KI approaches - it's on 06/03/10 - let's see who's aiming to get their hands on the Black! The Black is of course the über-cool McConaghy carbon fibre steering wheel, which is the prize in the 2009/10 McConaghy Melbourne Offshore Championship. It is being awarded in the PHS Division, which is fantastic to see, as this is quite a departure from the norm, where the boats at the front usually get the accolades!

Here's the wheel in question.

Here's the flag you win for each race. All it might take is two of these and the wheel could be yours!!!

Here's the sticker to show you're part of it all. These should be on your boom, so if they're not, please get 'em on!

M2L Winner was 'Caledonia', pictured here with her owner, the very cheery, Malcolm Mitchell.

M2HE Winner - 'Ingenue' - why hang on to Stainless, when there's carbon up for grabs? This is Rosie Collahan aboard 'Ingenue' at the 2009 M2HE start. Pic © Steb Fisher.

MMOC Overall Winner - you get the picture...

There are no Cafes at sea, but if you win this gem, you can take your strong Black with you (Captain Raw would love that, I tell you).
