ORCV Melbourne to Vanuatu (M2V)
Do ya feel lucky?
Well you should!
There are but a few spots on 'Scarlet Runner' for the 1885nm, 2010 M2V, which starts on July 4. Don't know the boat, well below is a pic of the interior, so you won't be slumming it. Now I don't think the Veuve is going along though, so Nicky, you'll just have to make your own arrangements for that one. Anyway, 'Scarlet Runner' is the RP penned (Yeah. I know - rack up another one for me with Jim Pugh), Composites Construction 52, which hit the water around seven months ago and has already been up and down the East Coast of our delightful land.
Pretty spesh huh!
Now she's also the present Line Honours favourite, so you could get a gun as well. Therefore. Go ahead. Make your day!
Under kite with 'Scarlet Runner'. Wouldn't you just love to do this across the stunning South Pacific? Mmmmmmm. Yummy! - pics © Steb Fisher.
OK then. There's no such thing as a free lunch and yep! There is a catch. You have to donate AU$1000 to the North Vila School, which is an absolute bargain and you'll also be feeling like the Philanthropic King or Queen! (Donating more may get you higher up the queue and it will certainly get me singing about your case, provided you have the relevant quals/experience.) Donations will go towards educational materials and medical supplies that are going over in the container. APC Logistics very kindly are shipping that for us and you can read about that, right HERE.
This is what the container looked like for the 2006 M2V...
... and these are the happy recipients with their new computers from last time.
Now go on with you. Get out of the Southern Hemisphere Winter and go for a sail. When you get there, have a dive, a fish or anything you please - just look....
ONE MORE THING! Although you're probably busy trying to find out where the contact info is, so you can send off your application to 'Scarlet Runner' (see below, BTW)... The first of the ORCV Information and Training Sessions for the 2010 M2V is being held next Tuesday night (Feb 9th) at RBYC @ 1900hrs. Roger that? Anyone out there?
