ORCV Melbourne to Geelong (M2G)

Let's go for a yacht.

Here are some more of the newly created Cruising Division of the M2G and thank you to the competitors, because it was a great event. We're still at the rounding of R2 and here are some more of Steb Fisher's pics from the waterborne component of the 2010 M2G.

San Miguel from RMYS.

Clipping along.

Looking like a Div0 boat off in the distance...

Magic goes around just after Pretty Woman. Both vessels are no stranger to ORCV events - thank you.

Cruising with company - Cadence, Magic one of the newer breed and then Mirage out on the right.

And Ocean Safari wants a piece of that, too.

Well look here. Independent Endeavour had arrived, as well.

Up to the mark they glide in this sequence. Because of her mass, things do take a little while, but always under an auspice of grace...

Time to go over to the other board...

Race leader, Calm, over to the right...

Nouannie on her port side now.

Head to wind...

Through...

Over...

Massive headsail to go.

Lots of work being done.

And going off out of the tack now...

That'll be the mark.

Mirage coming in to the mark, as well.

Oh. OK. A gang of cruising with company. Pretty Woman in there, too.

Time to go back on the other board, perhaps.

Magic out most to windward.

Call the ball, Maverick!

PYT also in that group.

Helm down as Caledonia approaches...

And 25 tonnes responds.

Gently as she goes...

Heady on for some power in that sort of rig.

Coming.

I think I can.

The first ripple...

And it begins again.

Around and down.

With some buoy room for others.

Soon it will be our turn for a Bag.

Well that just looks like a wonderful day for a yacht.

 

We'll find something to talk about, soon...

The full MWS results are HERE.

Many thanks to John Kint, Brian Case, Dianne Rose and the many, many helpers at RGYC for making it such a great place for us to get to.		Thank you to Monica Tonner and Richard Hunter from SYC for ensuring Steb had a ride and we, therefore, have all that imagery, which just seems to go down an absolute treat.
