ORCV Melbourne to Geelong (M2G)

Alex McKinnon - Part Three.

We've had new a Women in Sailing pic and discovered two new Seamanship Poster Crews, but we are still on the look for a new Happiest Crew On The Water. It's not a one-off thing, but rather a prolonged set of events or type of activity.

Bombora are on the radar for the gig, so it was interesting to see This email address is being protected from spambots.

If you could be happy whilst that cold and wet, you'd have to be in with a chance!!!

ORCV regulars, Addiction.

Mostly chuffed on Alibi - bet if they knew at the time that they'd taken the trifect of IRC, AMS and PHS for their day's work they'd be a bit more animated, however. Dennis Hambleton was at the presentations....

ORCV Vice Commodore, Simon Dryden, does Conehead, John Donati does the quick glance and Niesje Hees (part of the Etchells gang) does incognito aboard Dry White.

Speaking of The Etchells Gang, here's Mark 'Perfect Balance' Bulka driving Lou Abrahams' Challenge - it's Lou behind him, in fact... 

Proving that it may have been cold, but it was a great excuse to get the boat out of the pen is Kerina. Per Bengtzen and co got a first in PHS, Cruising for their troubles, too. 

Phil Spry-Bailey's Magic do so many events and they always come back, so we'll definitely keep an eye on you, too...

Paul Commins and the crew of Dionysos got a second in PHS, Cruising. We will certainly see what you get up to and catch you for the Boxing Day Dash, if not beforehand.

Chris Tucker's Halcyon are well pleased - we'll keep an eye on you lot...

From on board Schüss it's like, "We're really happy. Really. Don't mind him, that's his happy face!" 

So the search for the new HCOTW continues, but at least we have a few extra boats to be on the look out for as the Summer season gets ready to break the ice. Remember, we are looking... 

The M2G is now done and you can get the results for that race and the entire MWS, right HERE.

	Celebrating its 41st consecutive running - the Winter Series was first run in 1972 and is still the same format today! Be a part of the Bay's hottest racing at the coldest time of year or just pop out at the end, for the Bay's favourite bash - the event officially known just as Melbourne to Geelong, but you may have other names for it...
	In September, the Melbourne to Geelong event  finishes the Winter Series off and there will be presentations at RGYC for it. Of course, by the time Stanley comes around,  you just know Silly Season proper is upon you...
	Many thanks to Hobbos and particularly Tony Dawson for getting our favourite shooters - Teri and Alex - out on the water aboard Privateer. Many thanks also to Jon Bilger and his PredictWind   team who provide us with great information for both Race Management and Marketing Communications, alike.
