ORCV Melbourne Winter Series (MWS)

Adam's Rocket.

You'll definitely earn your keep this Sunday in the second round of the MWS, given what the PredictWind models are showing (and many thanks to PredictWind for supplying them).

OK. So both models concur that it's all out of the North and that can mean nice little bullets to really sort you out. Equally, the planing boats are going to be going, 'Flat water. Northerly. 20kn+. Yahoo Baby!'

The Brass have also lobbed in with, "Crew work is going to determine the winners and we would suggest an early night on Saturday!" Reading between the lines I think you can take that as the Race Director has two races for the day in his mind...

One mob that will surely get a blast out of this are our "We've got a fractional bag and it's onboard" pals - Beyond Outrageous. Go get 'em Ian Lindsay and the gang... (Pic courtesy of Chris Furey)

So to Adam and all the other sailors, there's your rocket with the news! Get set.

The full MWS results to date are HERE.

You can still enter individual MWS races HERE and the M2G is HERE - remember that Cruising Divisions will be offered for the latter event.

The Colts (Sydney 38s) are having  their own fight within the battle -  many thanks to Ullman Sails for  providing the prize.
