Please return your trackers to your club reception by Monday OR send them directly back to the ORCV office at 3 Aquatic Drive, Albert Park by no later than 5 days after the race.

Mooring and Catering Arrangments at BYS Saturday Night

Please note: BYS have a 4pm wedding on the lawn and have asked that we are quiet if arriving around that time.

Moorings at Blairgowrie (BYS) marina for competing boats in ORCV Latitude & West Offshore Coastal Sprints who indicated they will be staying for dinner have been kindly made available at no charge by BYS.   Dinner is anticipated to commence at 7.30pm.  We realise that many who have competed in the Coastal Sprints will be heading home but if you'd still like to join us, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by Friday morning.

Yachts berth allocations have been made and are available below.  We really do need your support with catering.  Each yachts crew numbers for Saturday Nights Meal is listed below also.  Please contact us if you want to make any changes to your reservation for dinner. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

It is a condition of entry that boats must berth in accordance with the directions of the BYS Marina Master.  

Some boats may be required to raft up due to size and space restrictions. Please note as guests of BYC we can only berth in BYS marina managers nominated berths and do not berth in unallocated empty berths as this may cause inconvenience to BYS members returning from their day out sailing. 

Boats having any questions regarding their allocated berth or crew dinner reservations should contact us immediately at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

BYS Special Instructions PLEASE READ

Once you have secured your boats, there are safes located at the beginning of each arm, before the entry/exit ramps which have regatta passes in them. To access these safes please use the code SMS to you. There will be an bundle of passes for each boat, clearly marked by boat name. Attached is a photo of these safes.

Once the boat leaves place the passes in the return drop box that is located in the same area. 

Please make sure you say, Thank you to all those at that you see at BYS for finding berths and assisting make this event GREAT.   Thank you BYS!
