ORCV Melbourne to Port Fairy (M2PF)


White Swan.


You may remember a wonderful sight glided through the Division Two and Three fleet during the recent Club Marine Series, Day Six. (See HERE for a reminder.) Anyway, it turns out she is one, White Swan, S349 out of RMYS. All pics of White Swan in this article are © Steb Fisher.

Here is the shot of White Swan again and it got us thinking about how she's obviously capable and no doubt seen a lot of things in her life as a Swan 50 (or thereabouts...) from, we think, the late 70's.

Anyway, we thought it would be cool for her to come out and play with her Big Sister, Independent Endeavour, (pictured above and below) for things like the impending Melbourne to Port Fairy or later in the year, Stanley and the Christmas time stuff. So, if you own White Swan and would like to do some of these events, call Sally or Dennis in the office on 9689 1622 and they'll help you arrange it.

A truly delightful way to get around.
