ORCV Melbourne Winter Series (MWS)

Green Jersey.

The Green Jersey is awarded to the leading sprinter in the Tour de France and I believe, also in the Giro d'Iltalia. Given the hero pic is Simone Hoey on the bow of Horizon Sprint, it wasn't too hard to come up with the headline, especially when the Radford Sprint 35 is in with the 40ish somethings and does do the odd dash, mostly under that kite. We're still at the second top mark rounding and she went around at about the same time as Clockwork.

Do I comment about the prodder, that man Mitchey at the back or the 'Steb'? Such a difficult task...

Was always going to get a hero pic status, even if I had to create an article to do it. Really good stuff.

Off and sprinting. Argh. Argh. Argh.

Also going around at just about the same time, was Stampede.

They chose to have a Dyson day with just the fours souls onboard.

Matrix goes for the pin, but I think the keel may be looking to consider its options...

Seems happier now.

Now of course, the crew of Matrix here, were involved in ding-dong battle with the guys below - INSX, who had got around just ahead of them.

Well it is the Winter Series, so perhaps it is training for the luge.

This was just pipped at the post for hero pic, but our current Lord Warden Trophy holders get plenty of press, here on the site. Still. If I end up putting the hex on you guys, don't come looking for me. OK?

Could well be Marcus Sill on the mast...

Halcyon just in front...

This is a great image. Lots of busy people.

Now you'd have to be happy with that on your wall...

Chris - you put them up to the hiking poses. I know.... (Love your work, team.)

The Love Boat, who were tickled pink with their day and got around just a little ahead of the other two boats proceeding them in this article...

Another tail end to finish, but yes, we'll be back soon.

The full MWS results to date are HERE. The next race of the MWS is Race Five - the Passage Race on August 15.

So. If you would like to go for a run with the Colts or any of the other sections represented by the Bay's best, you can. Individual entry for MWS races is 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.
