ORCV Melbourne to Geelong (M2G)

Pole axed.

There were certainly quite a few going for the mantle of winner of the pole axed award (won last year by Smithy and the Girl), but alas, Rowan from Escapade was the only one I got a snap of. So sprung. On Sunday morning he was still putting a few of Humpty Dumpty's pieces together again. What can I say...

But I do need to say this, Rowan was part of the Slinkies from Hobbos that stood by Ingenue in the 2010 M2V and in the process, earned themselves the Seamanship Poster Crew title. So he can sail and he can party. Rowan's apparently particularly fond of the latter, it would seem. Chrissy had to retrieve him from the drink in Vanuatu when he fell in, straight off the boat, whilst seated, no less.

Yep. Pole axed. Well done lad.

The gang from Escapade were really chuffed with their PHS win and were sporting enough to also relinquish the AMS win, seeing as the new main had not been measured yet. Image with thanks to Teri Dodds.

ORCV Rear Commodore, Don Fraser, awards Escapade's Skipper, Robert Bradley, with his prizes. Later on, he kept trying to tell me his name was actually Vladimir, so I think he too was in the running... Must have polished off the supplies there.

	The Colts (Sydney 38s) are having their own fight within the battle - many thanks to Ullman Sails for providing the prize.
We'll be seeing the team at Geelong, pretty soon indeed.		Thank you to Monica Tonner and Richard Hunter from SYC for ensuring Steb had a ride and we, therefore, have all that imagery, which just seems to go down an absolute treat.
	It is with thanks to our friends at PredictWind that we've been able to supply such detailled information throughout the entire 2010 MWS.
