ORCV Melbourne Winter Series (MWS)
Overboard.
No. Not anyone during racing on Day Two of the MWS, but rather, Steb and I with the sheer volume of images we chose.
Anyway, that makes all of us the beneficiaries, in a way. So let's just get into it. BTW, plenty more where these all came from. Plenty more!
Kathryn de Garis has a large girl component in the crew and just loved the way the three girls on the cabin top are almost aligned...
This is here, as it's just a fantastic shot, with an awesome 'Steb'.
Here are our three crewmembers. Ladies, send me your names please... and the rest of the crew on the day, too. Ta.
Waves. QED.
Coming over Cloud IX, I believe it is.
Onboard Magazan and had to have it for the shadow through the jib.
Go the hoist.
You know why, by now.
Nick McGuigan under the blue beannie.
Ah huh! The old one set of kite gear through the blocks problem. No matter what else was on offer, this was always going to get the hero pic status. Looks a little like Code Flag B - I am taking on or discharging explosives. Interesting... May have been some highly charged comments around?
Then it's time to go krill fishing.
Jo Harpur was not onboard (sick), but Cpt Sally Williams got handed the keys and they were off!
Look out for the lug in the red jacket at the back, a little later on.
Spirit of Freya and Rogue Trader in this pieces artsy fartsy shot...
John Weatherly, come on down. On the rail, literally, specs on and grey hair shining in the sun. Hope you're well pal. The rest of them lined up like a goal defense at the World Cup.
Seems the sun came out at exactly the right time.
Now we said earlier it was a day of close racing and well,,,
Clockwork, Audacious and Swordfish Trombone.
So good, had to have another. Close, close, close.
Extasea went for it. M2G coming up and they'll be keen to get to their home club, RGYC, well placed and ready for drinking, I would imagine.
Bombora running downhill.
Tim Olding's Swordfish Trombone and I think Stampede retried and went home, just not sure at what point... Keep an eye out for the guy in the yellow Musto outfit in future peices.
Lovely work - such great composition.
Beyond Outrageous gets around just in front of a hard charging Hush, who went three-up on the day.
Tigris also coming into the mix, slabs and all.
Two pins, three boats and one awesome image.
Trimmer's ready to go.
"Where's my Bag?"
The Don 'Cadibarra' Jones designed vessel now known as Matrix, formerly Kaos. New keel last year too, if I remember correctly.
Whole heap of blue there, about to go Boom.
More brace on, I think.
Jazzy looking good.
Any comments about the day, Mark?
It's like he's doing 'Oi - Oi, oi, oi' from Macho Man, but no, he couldn't be... Could he?
Get back up the pointy end! You're only allowed behind the mast when we're in the pen.
Alibi. Just great, so you won't need one.
So good against the dark skies.
Alibi setting up to goosewing the heady, while Allegresse head up to the top.
Mille Sabord slices along in front of the St Kilda foreshore.
Fade 2 Grey and Orange 2 Pin - argh, argh, argh
Check it out soon, ya all.
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. |
