ORCV Melbourne Winter Series (MWS)

Batter Up!

Actually, in the case of Sunday's racing, I think it should really be, rug up!!!

There may be a little difference in the timeframes for the arrival of the front on Sunday, but 15-25knots looks to be the order of the day. Now by the time it clocks through to the Southerly quadrant, I think woollen jocks should really be the order of the day! Perhaps this is what led the Brass to say "It will definitely be a one race day, as it going to be so cold." Well, we certainly would not want to freeze the walls of a brass humpy, now would we...

As it starts to clock at around race time, this model shows that it may be a bit lighter than expected...

These models feel it will start to clock just before racing and get stronger from there, hopefully when most of you are back in the shed already...

So there you have it. Cold. Blustery. And a bit wet. Perfect MWS weather. Rightey Oh. Yes. I think I will use that as a headline somewhere. There will be a further update, in due course, but lock it in. I reckon you're going racing (especially as there would seem to be no significant scenarios in the forecast).

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.

Thank you to David Judge and Tony Dawson from Hoobo's for ensuring Steb had a ride and we, therefore, had imagery.
The Colts (Sydney 38s) are having their own fight within the battle - many thanks to Ullman Sails for providing the prize.
