Dear Members,

We would like to invite you to the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria Annual General Meeting.  It will be held online, on Monday 14th September 2020 from 7.00 - 8.00 pm.

Despite Covid-19 and the impact on Sailing and Training, the club is in a strong position and is preparing for many more years of competition and adventure.  The General Committee will update you on the year that was and the new General Committee once elected will provide an insight into the years ahead.

Our trophy presentation will be postponed and held once we can all come together again to celebrate.

We look forward to the meeting of members, details of how to join the meeting will be provided after registration.

Race Director and Incident Management Volunteers.

Over the next few months the ORCV will be conducting training programs for volunteer Race Directors and the Incident Management team. In both cases the training involves initial coursework followed by “on the job” training in an Assistant capacity for a number of races.

Race Directors are responsible for managing races starting a few days before each event through to the final wrap up of results and reports. It’s a “24 hours” operation and our longer races therefore involve a team of Race Directors and Assistants. This is a key role which calls for experienced offshore sailors with commitment, strong communication and PC skills and an ability to assess and manage risk. If this sounds like you, please contact the Office for further details or email the sailing Captain on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

The Incident Management Team complements and supports the Race Director Role, maintaining a team with the capacity and skills to manage the broad range of incidents which may occur during ocean races. The team undertakes ongoing risk assessment and incident management planning and co-ordinates of services and communications when incidents arise - working with emergency authorities as required. If you have an interest in joining the team, please contact Rick Head on 0419 888 254 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
