ORCV Melbourne to Port Fairy


Oi!!! Yes. You.


Yes. You. And No. It doesn't matter whether you're a skipper or a sailor.

If you have a boat, but not enough crew or your usual ride is not going and you want to boat tart it for the Easter break (just like He of the Countdown Timer), then we can help you!!! Yes. You.

He of the Countdown Timer is going to Port Fairy on the Dry White. You'll have to win on Handicap if want to collect more of these, pal!

So far, these boats are going and usually, it's about 20 that make the journey:

  1. OR1 - yes, the Big Cheese is bringing the Dry White (couldn't help it...)
  2. Pretty Woman - Roger and Michelle Wale looking to fill the Master SeaChef hat, now that Ingénue and The Secretary are on limited duties
  3. Slinky Malinky - it's all upside for this mob...
  4. Chikara Outlaw - she's for sale and you can see about that, HERE.

Right then. It's the penultimate gig for the season and one of the best, most scenic places you'll ever see. It's one hell of a race, too.

If you're in with a shot for a prize in the Offshore Championship (you can see where you're at HERE), then you really do need to get organised, then don't you? That means you, Alien, Escapade, Addiction, eXtasea and Magazan 53. Capiche... Matrix, White Noise and others are not forgotten, either.

It may have been as early as 1810 when a Whaler named, The Fairy, found the place and it then had a stint as, Belfast, when a town was drawn up to make use of its environs, but today, it is just plain nice. Forget the sordid past, where they killed all the whales and seals. It's now about a wonderful boardwalk, interesting cafes and quaint restaurants.

It's a visual feast and you cannot help but relax in the place.

True, the port is a bit shallow (still gets Chikara Outlaw in, however), but we've even got that issue covered now for super deep drafters. The Dash Backs mean they can just high tail it back to the Heads and the bosses ashore, mow the lawns, do the right thing, have had a yacht and still look like they never left the place. Cool or what?!

So. That's all bases covered. Call Sally or Tanya now to see how we can get you going and sticking your nose in it (Bass Strait you naughty things). Demtel shoppers, the number is 9689 1622. That number again, 9689 1622. OK! Yep. 9689 1622 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.


NoR and all the usual bits are available from HERE.


And yes, there will be more, just let me think it up first....

 

PS. There are a few Sea Biscuits still available for trial - read about them HERE and then call the office.

This is one hell of a
tourist destination!

Bring the shore crew - they'll love
you for it and you'll get leave passes
whenever you want from then on.
No. Really. Promise.
