ORCV Melbourne to Port Fairy
Spots!!!! Race to PF this Easter.
Right. Seems we all love spots, as Spirit of Dowunder got to King Island after putting the call out. Now it is Ninety Seven's turn. The Farr 47 that won the 2010 Melbourne to Launceston event and then got the IRC and PHS caps for the entire Xmas series has the spots (for you).
Here's the victorious crew from Christmas time, 2010.
Built by Boatspeed on the Central Coast in NSW, she was within one millemetre of the original Farr Yacht Design drawings and they earned a commendation letter from Farr for their troubles. I know, I have seen it.
So there you have it. In addition to the spots on your eyes from looking at the screen too long, you can also look to get one of the spots on Ninety Seven. The ORCV's Rear Commodore, Neville "Nifty" Rose is ready to help you get to PF this Easter. Call Nifty on 0412 459 271, to get onboard.
If it has windward components, like getting to Cape Otway often does, then this is one vessel you may like to be on...
PS. If you're worried about seasickness, our friends at Energy Force have given us a few extra Sea Biscuit bracelets just for this sort of emergency. Sally and Tanya can take care of that for you....
