Welcome to the inaugural Marine Safety Expo 2024! We're thrilled to announce this exciting ORCV event, which will take place at the Sandringham Yacht Club (SYC) on Sunday, July 21, 2024 from 10am to 4pm.

At the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), our mission is clear: to prioritise marine safety and preserve life at sea. With a strong focus on safety, we're proud of our impeccable safety record and commitment to promoting a safety culture on the water – not just for our members but also for the wider boating community.

The Marine Safety Expo is a collaborative initiative between the ORCV and SYC. It is designed to provide an immersive experience that enhances safety in all recreational boating activities. By bringing together industry experts, government organisations, and passionate boating enthusiasts, this event aims to raise awareness and share invaluable insights on marine safety.

Join us for a day filled with informative guest speakers, engaging demonstrations, and insightful stands from leading organisations such as Ronstan, West Offshore Products, and Discount Yachting Supplies.
