ORCV Melbourne to Vanuatu (M2V on 06/07/14)

Race Week.

There are many of these the world over. We have just had the Caulfield Cup and the Cox Plate, so as we go into Melbourne Cup Week and our very own, ORCV 2010 M2S, here's a few snaps from the 2010 M2V and their particular take on Race Week.

These are the little Piccininis doing their bit for Fashions on the Field.

How the Ni-Vas see the concept.

The concept we may be a ll a little more familiar with...

The winner, Angus Fletcher of TevakeII and it is Tracy Kamens with him. Tracy works for Bayer who donated $500 towards the Vanuatu project. Thank you, thank you and thank you...

I also received a little bit of added info and apparently, "Tracy's looking good, even in her 'Mother Hubbard' dress bought especially for the occasion of the Vanuatu Cup. Tracy sailed with the boys on Tevake II and rumour has it, that she's the first girl allowed onboard one of Mr Fletcher's boats!!! However, post-race he was singing her praises in Port Vila, publicly announcing that '... she steered better than all of them." A big thank you to 'Source', for the intel...

Now before we go, and given that there is a strong female bias to this piece, it is important to note that the third EOI for the 2014 M2V is none other than our very own Tanya Stanford, pictured below and she drives Nouannie.

I know she'll approve of this one much more - her crew from her boat Nouannie - and yes they did do well at the 2010 AWKR at RMYS - not just for the yachting equivalent - Fashions on the Water! Well done girls.

So you've had a read of the articles about the 2010 M2V. Perhaps you've heard the stories from those who went in 2006? Been at the recent Long Distance Seminars even? Well. All we can say, is start preparing! 2014 M2V is on the way to you - ready or not!
