ORCV Melbourne to Vanuatu (M2V)

The gift that keeps giving.

Our human Trevi Fountain, Sue Clinnick, has been the most marvellous asset to the Vanuatu Humanitarian Aid Project and she simply keeps giving. You're a gem Sue.

Last weekend they held an 'Audacious Dinner' at her home to celebrate the girl's win under Kate Clark, in both SYC's Women In Sailing Challenge and BLISS, the latter we saw a little while ago and you can start that thread if you missed out, HERE.

Kate arranged an impromtu auction to raise funds for the Wish List, with half models by Peter Coleman of the Sydney 38, Audacious, as the offering.

Our Auctioneer was on the mark!

$300 was raised, with Sue Williams and Jill Butchers the successful bidders. Sue (pictured above) was part of the winning WISC crew and Jill is Mum to Luke, who brought Audacious home from Hobart earlier in the year and as such, racked up his first crossing of Bass Strait. Poor devil probably has the bug now...

If you would like to give a gift, you still can. Please contact Robyn Brooke on 03 8601 5882, to ascertain the best way to assist. In the meantime, please take a moment to thank our Sue, who really has been the most marvellous gift to the project.

Sue Williams receives her half model from our Human Trevi Fountain, Sue Clinnick. Glad we have a picture of you now Sue...
