Melbourne to Port Fairy (M2PF)
As the inimitable Foxy would say - "Yahoo Baby!"

| Once again, all entrants in an ORCV race have an equal chance to be winners. Gill Australia is sponsoring a prize for this year's M2PF!
That's right. Every Skipper can absolutely look the biz in a brand new Atlantic Offshore Jacket. Thank you very much Gill. So Foxy (Mark Fox), if you're reading this from parts unknown, it is time for a really big "YAHOO BABY!" It is a truly fantastic prize and all a Skipper has to do is ensure a crewmember from their boat is at the Port Fairy Yacht Club during presentations, when the winner will be drawn. There are 18 entrants n the race, so minus the ORCV Commodore's boat, that means you have a one in 17 chance to walk away with a great new Atlantic Offshore Jacket with an RRP of around $800. Cool. |

Layer: Outer Sizes: S - XL Colours: Red/Storm Grey Product Features: • 5 dot waterptoof & breathable 3-layer fabric • Fully taped seams for a waterproof seal • Rollaway High-Vis hood with volume adjustment for improved fit • Ocean height collar with fitted face guard for excellent protection • Adjustable cuffs with PU inner seals for watertight comfort • Double storm flap for full weather protection • Zippered internal security pocket • Fleece lined hand warmer pockets • Large capacity angled cargo pockets for ease of access • Life jacket attachment facility • High Visibility Reflexite reflectives • Dry weight 1.45kg |
You could be on deck for long durations in offshore racing, so you're going to need full storm protection. Gill's Atlantic suit is the perfect solution. It is unlined, offering high breathability and great durability, with minimum weight. It features a fully adjustable Ocean style hood with fleece lined collar and chin flap, covering the ears, thereby exposing only your eyes and nose.
"It is so great to have Gill Australia support the ORCV in this fashion and so regularly. In times like these we need every bit of help we can get, so all thanks to Gill for supply such a marvellous product as the prize in this year's M2PF", ORCV Race Director, Donald Fraser said as he prepared the necessary equipment for the ORCV's Race Van, a converted ex-Ambulance.
"We will have a jacket at Port Fairy for the presentation and will endeavour to arrange an alternative size and colour if requested", he went on to add. I'll take an XL in any colour combo thanks Don...
So if you're racing to Port Fairy this year, there's now an added incentive to get there - as if the PFYC's hospitality, the view and ambience weren't enough.
