Ocean Racing Club of Victoria

What will the Weather God's provide this weekend?

For those of you like your ocean race "20:20" - below 20 knots, above 20 degrees - this might be your race!
The general pattern indicates light northerlies moving to the east, so once again positioning yourself east or west is going to be the key to success. It looks like crew catering might need to be increased as Saturday night dinner is not going to be a King Island steak sandwiches for most of the fleet.

It looks like everyone is in for a comfortable cruise down the bay and a pleasant sail to King Island. If you want to be in the money I would be doing a lot of study and making the boat as light as possible.

The models below are from our good friends at Predictwind. As you can see there's no agreement between the two models, so anything could happen. One model has you finishing so you could have lunch and dinner in Grassy on Saturday but I doubt it!!!


Happy Sailing
