Justin Brenan, ORCV Sail Captain commented, “Peter Davison and the crew of Arcadia were the outstanding team in the Series winning 4 of the 5 races in AMS, the largest Measurement Handicap Division, and securing 4 podium positions in PHS. A second highlight of the series was the tight competition between Executive decision and Wicked. These 2 boats in IRC were tied with a final score of 8 points each. The IRC tie was resolved in Wicked’s favour based on the number of 1st place positions, while in AMS Executive Decision with a series score of 12 finished second, “pipping” Wicked by one point. “

Overnight Navigator's Challenge Scores

Winter Series 2019 - Race 5

14 boats competed in the 2019 ORCV Winter Series, Race 5, the Overnight Navigator's Challenge. 

A race with a difference, where the crews pick their course, sailing as fast as they can to different points across the bay.  The challenge, planning your course which favours your boat and predicted weather then working as a team throughout the night.  Each boat starts at 12 midday on Saturday and finishes at Hobson's Bay Yacht Club 9 am Sunday.  Points are awarded based on the distance covered with points deducted for being early or late in finishing.  The points are then multiplied by the handicap.   For this race, the highest points score wins. 

Congratulations go to:

Rod Smallman and crew on Maverick 1st on IRC & PHS and
Peter Davison on Arcadia, 1st on AMS
Ron Parker, Jessabbe 1st on Beyond the Bay Division.

What a great Winter Series it's been. 

We thank all the competitors, volunteers, mentors (for Beyond the Bay groups) and clubs for their ongoing support.

Message from Cyrus Allen, Skipper of White Spirit.

" Hi everyone. we would like to express our sincere thanks to the crews of Audere and Clockwork for rendering assistance. Jen, Dan and Andrew were of great comfort to Otis. Also a shout out to Carvalo for standing by and the ORCV incident management and emergency teams. 

Otis’ Mum has advised that he’s stable and awaiting scans, although in considerable pain. Our thoughts are with him and his family. Thank also to our wonderful crew for their calm response and management of the situation."

ORCV Winter Series to Geelong Results

Results have been posted, we apologise for the delay as we had to process the redress for Clockwork and Cavarlo who suspended racing to help the yacht White Spirit. Both boats were granted 45 minutes. Audere chose not the request redress.

No matter who wins, everyone wins when you see such seamanship when coming to the aid of fellow yachts.
