ORCV Melbourne to Vanuatu (M2V)
Two Stage Turbo.
It may well be a headline for the petrol heads, but Turbo will be the next finisher and when they do, they'll get the IRC and PHS prizes - hence being able to stand on two stages... Well done to skipper, Bill Feore and the crew. Sensational effort. They should be finishing around 11am AEST.
Slinky Malinky is in green at the back and 51st Project in gold, up with the leading bunch.
As of about 9am AEST, Mirrabooka did, in fact, tie up to the quay at the Port Moselle Marina, Noumea, to begin repairs to her starboard rigging, before venturing on to Vila and the activities there. It is a shame they just could not make that last bit. Seven days or so on the one board, in a sloppy and often large seaway, must have been too much for the particular part in question.

The Secretary are 79.8nm (147.8km) SSW of Port Vila, doing 6.5kn on a heading of 028deg at position 19.039S and 168.001E. This marvellous two-handed effort, by the team who have done both M2O and M2V before, will yield them 3rd in IRC and 2nd in PHS. As they have had so much to deal with recently, I will be very pleased to see that they have walked onto the quay, but perhaps, only a quarter as much as they will...
Team 'Da Sec', is Robyn Brooke and George Shaw. Pic © Steb Fisher.
