Tasmanian entrants AdvantEdge and Just Farr Love will be flying the flag for their home state in this year’s Melbourne to Devonport ‘Rudder Cup’ Yacht Race.

While they may be outnumbered on the start line by Victorian entries, the Tasmanian teams boast extensive ocean racing experience and youthful exuberance and will be pitching themselves as real contenders in this ocean-racing sprint across one of the world’s gnarliest stretches of water.

AdvantEdge, an Inglis 47 Australian designed racing keelboat, is skippered by Andrew Jones from Port Sorell, and sails mostly from the Port Dalrymple Yacht Club at Beauty Point.

The AdvantEdge team is racing against the clock to repair a torn mainsail, a casualty of the recent wild and windy Hobart Brewing Company Channel Race in Hobart which saw a top true wind speed of 38 knots, boat speed of over 18 knots, and several boats retire.

Jones describes his crew of young dinghy sailors as “a bunch of rockstars, are all top sailors,” who have been working hard to get the boat ship-shape for this season’s ocean racing and will be pushing the boat hard to better their fourth place (for monohulls) across the line in the 2024 event.

“We are excited to be doing the Rudder Cup again, it’s another good hit out for us.

“I think they’ve got the taste of Bass Strait sailing now and I’m also keen to get back into sailing in our home waters,” said Jones.

Doyle Sails Tasmania’s Nick Dineen has joined AdvantEdge for the race and will offer a wealth of experience and sail trimming tips on the trip to Devonport.

While the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria’s (ORCV) Rudder Cup race is often referred to as a short sprint across Bass Strait, Jones is much more cautious, describing it as a tricky race in which tactics and navigation can be tested, depending upon the conditions.

“It’s quite a tricky race, if you look at last year, we all ended up sailing east a fair bit until we put that dive down to try to get into the stream of the north westerly winds that was there, but we couldn’t find it.

“It’s a pretty good race for the navigators as well to work out, I don’t see it as a simple dash,” said Jones, who also singled out his Geelong-based navigator Nick Smart as very thorough in his preparation for every race.

Onboard alongside Smart and Dineen will be Brent McKay, James McIndoe, Andrew’s son Josh Jones, and Michael Smart.

Jones is out for the win and is planning to take the race right up to the likes of the Carkeek 43, Scarlet Runner, skippered by David Sturge, and Chutzpah, the Reichel/Pugh 40, with the experienced Bruce Taylor in charge.

“We will be trying our best to give it a fair crack…if we can get some triple heading, and big powerful reaching conditions, then we should be quite quick,” said Jones.

Just Farr Love, is a 51-foot Bruce Farr designed fast cruiser sailing mostly from the Tamar Yacht Club, and is skippered in this year’s race by owner, Scott Lovell, who was raised in the far North West of Tasmania with the waters off Three Hummock Island his sailing backyard.

Just Farr Love has a long cruising history and while a relative newcomer to offshore racing, a win on performance handicap overall and in Division 2 in last year’s Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race has sparked a fire in Lovell who is keen to add the Rudder Cup Race to their preparation before the Boxing Day race to Hobart.

Lovell and his crew have a score to settle with the Rudder Cup after last year’s disappointment.

“We entered last year but we had some dramas with our propellers heading over Bass Strait and as we got closer to the entry to Port Phillip, neither the weather or the tides were in our favour, and because the propellers weren’t working on the boat, we were advised by the Marine Police not to make the entrance, so we had to withdraw before we started.

“This year, we don’t want this race to beat us,” said Lovell.

Just Farr Love isn’t a lightweight boat and performs at her best in heavier conditions and is sailing with eight crew including Brian Cottnam, Mandy Barden, Mitchell Ransom, Murat Djakic, Robert Brunning, Ross Smith, and Tim Freeman.

“We need a decent bit of breeze to get going, and if we can just get into that sweet spot and find our rhythm, we should go along quite nicely.

“We certainly won’t be leading the front of the pack, but if we get things right, and we get good conditions, we could do well,” said Lovell.

“We like to benchmark ourselves against similar boats, we are really talking about the cruiser/racer category rather than the all-out racers, so boats in the 40 foot plus range.

“Our boat is reasonably old now, but while the newer boats are a bit lighter, if we can hold our pace with some of them, we might do well.

“Our rig, compared to the others is quite small, we’ve got a heavy-duty cruising rig rather than a racing rig, so we are short on sail compared to the boat size in comparison to others,” said Lovell.

Lovell is delighted to be sailing with his seasoned crew who, in contrast to the youngsters on AdvantEdge, have recently come out of ‘retirement’ to get back into ocean racing.

“I think our youngest crew is 45 years old, quite a few of our sailors have done a lot of ocean racing including the Westcoaster, 15 or 20 years ago, and had a long break, so some have come out of ‘retirement’ to race.

“We draw straws as to who is on the foredeck because none of us really want to be up there,” said Lovell.

Lovell sounds like he’s also prioritising luxury and comfort over hard racing in this year’s race.

“We have a hard dodger which gives us a comfortable ride, especially when you are beating into the weather; we don’t sit on the rail, and we are in two minds whether to put the coffee machine onboard or not.

“We are really about enjoying the ride, the crew, and just achieving these things, we are all just that little bit older now, we don’t have quite the same ‘we must win’ mentality,” said Lovell.

The 195 nautical mile Melbourne to Devonport race forms part of the ORCV Offshore Championship and is open to yachts racing fully crewed, “autohelm plus 4” or double-handed.

Nearly 30 boats have registered for the 2025 Rudder Cup, Australia’s oldest ocean race, which starts at 2:30 pm on Friday the 31st of October 2025.

Entries have been received from Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia.

It’s all in the timing as Clockwork readies for first Melbourne to Devonport Yacht Race

It would be hard to find two more enthusiastic and committed offshore sailors than South Australians, Mary Ann Harvey and Andrew Lloyd, co-owners and “equal skippers” of the Sydney 38, Clockwork, from the Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia.

Harvey and Lloyd, relaxed and in the groove after a hectic eight-month sailing program last year which took in the major Australian regattas, will have Clockwork on the start line on Friday the 31^st of October for their first Melbourne to Devonport ‘Rudder Cup’ Yacht Race.

Harvey retrospectively described the Rudder Cup, run by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria, as a bucket list race now that they know the history of the event as the oldest yacht race in Australia, and are definitely “in it to win it.”

“We are going to race as hard as we can to make the boat go.

“Andrew is a weapon on the start line, we make sure we don’t hit anybody, but if there’s a spot on the start line that he wants to be, even if it’s a TP52, he will just push through until he gets there.

In 2024, Clockwork won the Sydney 38 Division of the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, a feat which they hope to repeat this year, and with the right weather, Harvey believes Clockwork might take home the win in the 2025 the Rudder Cup.

“A Sydney 38 is a bullet proof boat, a great all-rounder.

“We’ve never heard of a Sydney 38 ever losing its rig anywhere in the world, and while we know the boat is 25 years old, she’s fantastic upwind and downwind,” said Harvey.

Clockwork will be up against two other Sydney 38s from Victoria, Faster Forward, skippered by Matt Fahey, and Loch Sloidh 3, skippered by Peter McFarlane, which will make racing interesting.

Lloyd is hoping for a decent breeze for the sprint across Bass Strait to the finish line off the mouth of the Mersey River, the waterway of the Tasmanian coastal city of Devonport, and to the guaranteed warm welcome from the team at the Mersey Yacht Club.

“I haven’t done any weather modelling yet, but our preferred conditions would be reaching in 20 knots of breeze, or even right on the nose would suit us, while it’s not that comfortable, we know the boat will perform really well,” said Lloyd.

Talking with Harvey and Lloyd, it is easy to see why these great mates get on so well and are enjoying living what many would describe as their very best sailing life, competing successfully in some of Australia’s premier sailing regattas, while generously offering crewing opportunities to people from all walks of life through the ORCV’s Next Gen program and supporting community programs such as Orange Sky. 

“We both think it’s great to be supporting young sailors through the Next Gen program, giving them their first taste of ocean racing through a delivery, it’s a great time for training, they get time on the wheel,” said Harvey.

They each have enormous respect for the other’s strengths and personalities, and trip over themselves to heap praise on each other, while gently competing for bragging rights on boat speed.

“Andrew is amazing, he is so experienced in all areas of sailing.

“He does much more helming than I do, and he’s a terrific coach who runs the boat in fantastic condition,” said Harvey.

“Mary Ann is a legend, she’s an amazing person, a great sailor whose competence far exceeds her confidence.

“She’s able to find crew, which was tough in 2024 when we had 60 people on the boat in our eight-month campaign.

“But more than that, Mary Ann’s an inspiration to blokes and ladies alike, and she wants to sail with me!

“We completely trust her, we are just great mates,” said Lloyd.

Lloyd has been sailing all his life and has a special interest in sharing his knowledge with newcomers, and although Harvey came to yacht racing later in life, she has an innate understanding of the wind through 20 years as a windsurfer and prefers crewing ahead of steering.

“I was obsessive about the sailboarding, as a busy, working single mother, it was just a great way to get out and blow off the cobwebs.

“Andrew becomes my tactician when I’m steering which I think he finds a little bit frustrating at times, especially when I remind him that I have the Clockwork boat speed record of 20.7 knots,” said Harvey teasingly.

2025 has been a good year for Harvey, who recently won the 2025 Female Sailor of the Year category in the Australian Sailing South Australia Awards, recognising her achievements in ocean racing, her commitment to gender inclusivity, equality and opportunity, and her leadership in sailing as Chair of the South Australian Women’s Keelboat Regatta Committee.

Earlier in the year, Harvey also took her boat to Melbourne in June to compete in the Australian Women’s Keelboat Regatta at Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron, racing with her all-female crew. A regular interstate competitor, Harvey continues to show her strong dedication to building connections and supporting the broader women’s keelboat community across Australia — strengthening ties between the South Australian and Melbourne chapters through shared experience, teamwork, and passion for the sport.

As they focus on the 2025 Rudder Cup, Lloyd and Harvey admit that neither of them has raced out of Port Phillip through The Rip, a narrow entrance at Port Phillip Heads where underwater reefs limit the navigable entrance to 0.6 of a nautical mile, and which can offer some difficult and precarious conditions to sailors.

“We will be very mindful of the conditions we are in, but we will also try to remind ourselves that it’s just another passage of water,” said Harvey.

There will certainly be plenty of guidance available from other fleet members and the ORCV.

Harvey and Lloyd note that the previous owner of the boat named her Clockwork as a nod to his work as a jeweller / watchmaker, and for those watching the race, Clockwork has a bright orange spinnaker and wheel, which features heavily in their marketing material and crew shirts.

Harvey and Lloyd will be sailing alongside Brendon Savage, Harvey’s nephew Rowan Edwards, Sam Wilksch, Michael Burvill, Laoise O’Beirn, Matt Stephens and Paul Hicks.

The 195 nautical mile 2025 Melbourne to Devonport ‘Rudder Cup’ starts at 2:30pm (AEDT) on Friday the 31st of October off Queenscliff, in Port Phillip.

The longstanding race record is 19 hours, 32 minutes and 56 seconds which was set in 1998 by Prowler, skippered by Joe Westerlo.

The Rudder Cup is part of the ORCV Offshore Championship and is open to yachts fully crewed, 4+autohelm, and double-handed.

Final entries closing on Monday the 20^th of October 2025.

Entries open for 2025 Melbourne to Devonport ‘Rudder Cup,’ Yacht Race, a qualifier for this season’s big ocean races

Entries are open for the prestigious Rudder Cup, the oldest ocean race in Australia and one of the most popular races on the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria’s (ORCV) sailing calendar.

The 195 nautical mile Category 2 ocean race starts near the entrance to Port Phillip in Victoria on Friday the 31st of October with the fleet making a dash across Bass Strait to Devonport, a seaside city on the rich and fertile farming belt of the North West Coast of the Apple Isle, Tasmania.

While the Rudder Cup is a relatively short race, sailors need to be prepared for tough and demanding conditions as they cross Bass Strait, with the event frequently used as a qualifying event for the 2025 Melbourne to Hobart ‘Westcoaster’ and the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.

With the images of the 2025 Fastnet Race fresh in people’s minds, few would be aware that the Rudder Cup holds significant historical sailing value as the fifth oldest ocean race in the world, predating the Fastnet by 18 years.

This year’s race will again be sailed in accordance with the ORCV’s Clean Regatta’s Framework established by Sailors for the Sea, demonstrating the commitment of ORCV members to upholding the principles of environmental stewardship in ocean racing.

Sailors will be strongly encouraged to eliminate single-use plastic bottles, provision and store food to reduce food and packaging waster, prevent oil, chemicals and microplastic pollution going to sea by inspecting and maintaining a clean bilge.

The ORCV has a longstanding partnership with the Mersey Yacht Club in Devonport, which generously hosts the finishing boats and the presentation of the Rudder Cup.

For sailors keen to stay on in Tasmania, Devonport provides the perfect gateway to the stunningly beautiful Dove Lake, a glacially carved lake directly beneath Cradle Mountain, in the heart of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, all within 90 minutes of Devonport.

​​Other highlights within easy distance of the Mersey Yacht Club include the eclectic mural-filled country town of Sheffield and for the foodies, easy access to the Tasmanian Tasting Trail, a self-drive trail which showcase the best food and wine on offer on the North West Coast of Tasmania.

The Rudder Cup is part of the ORCV Offshore Championship and is open to yachts fully crewed, 4+ autohelm and double-handed.

Race Director David Schuller believes sailing in the Rudder Cup is a great way to shake off the cobwebs after the winter’s break from sailing.

“The race is a great opportunity for skippers to do their first Cat 2 race for the new racing season after a ‘break,’ completing the Winter Series and putting the first of the Coastal Sprints under their belt, and the race is also a pre-qualifier for the Melbourne to Hobart Westcoaster.

“Sailors can expect a strong fleet of competitors including double-handed entries and a very warm welcome at the Mersey Yacht Club.

“The race offers a good mix of day/night sailing experiences with a race start mid-afternoon and night sailing across Bass Strait,” said Schuller.

Sailors are encouraged to take advantage of the early bird entries which close on Thursday the 9th of October, with final entries closing on Monday the 20th of October 2025.

Dasher+Fisher How Bizarre wins thrilling 2024 Rudder Cup

Dasher+Fisher How Bizarre has won the 2024 Melbourne to Devonport Rudder Cup by the slimmest of margins in a thrilling race of tactics, superb sailing conditions and great fun.

Skipper Scott Robinson and his crew of Glenn Bailey, Mark Geyle, Sean Supanz, Peter Amarant and Stephen Reddish have won the prestigious and highly valuable Rudder Cup Perpetual Trophy, awarded to the winner of the combined AMS handicap on a corrected time of 1d, 2h, 59m and 35 sec, just under seven minutes ahead of second-placed, Ginan.

The 36-foot Seaquest Reichel/Pugh boat, representing the Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron, was purchased in 2015 and has enjoyed considerable success in both club and offshore events. 

The Seaquest RP36 is a boat built for racing with its lightweight construction and responsive nature proving an advantage in this year’s race.

Robinson, an experienced ocean racer, past Rudder Cup winner (1996) and veteran of three Melbourne to Hobart ‘Westcoaster’ races, was emotional when he reflected upon the win, especially hearing about a family connection to the race for the first time in the days leading up to the start of the race.  

“It’s unbelievable to be honest…it sounds silly but I’m a bit emotional. 

“One of the boys messaged me this week and he said, do you realise that your Dad [Rob] won the Rudder Cup in 1973 and I said, no I didn’t!

“You know, I was a teenager, and you didn’t listen to your parents much back then, so to then pull this off this weekend, is just fantastic,” said Robinson.

Robinson felt that they got the tactics right on Bass Strait. 

“The race was good for us, a bit of light, a bit of heavy, a bit of on the wind…we didn’t think we were really a downwind boat compared to some of the others, but we really pushed the boat,” said Robinson.

Race Officer David Schuller noted how the fleet was pretty tight overall, with lots of jostling for position and several changes in the leaderboard as the boats made their way across Bass Strait, a view shared by Robinson.

“We had access to a bit of tracker positioning, and we thought, this is incredible, one minute you are low in the standings and the next it had blown out, it was really exciting.

“We got off to a good start and at one stage we were around seven bigger boats and we looked back and noticed most of the Division 2 fleet had tacked away … and the decision was to either sail on with the boats that we were with or turn and cover them.

“We tacked then to cover that portion of the fleet just to cover our bases in our group and I really think that paid off, it kept the distance that we had made...when you’ve got a bit of a lead, you need to keep it, that was the time in the race for us,” said Robinson.

Robinson will have his hands full at the prize giving ceremony with Dasher+Fisher How Bizarre taking home the FH Stephens Trophy for first on PHS handicap overall, and winning Division 2 on AMS and PHS in addition to the Rudder Cup.

The 36-boat fleet left Queenscliff at 2pm on Friday the 1st of November in near perfect conditions with sailors looking forward to the much anticipated ‘peachy sailing conditions’ forecast for this year’s Rudder Cup.    

Damien King’s MRV was first through Port Phillip Heads, closely followed by Extasea (Dustin Popp), Chutzpah (Bruce Taylor) and Scarlet Runner (Rob Date), with the gang of four all predicted to do well in the battle for line honours.  

The weather forecast dictated a long starboard tack for the first part of the race, with most boats tending to the east in anticipation of the wind shifting more easterly later in the race. 

Rod Smallman, co-skipper of the double-handed entry Maverick with owner Tony Hammond, shared his race predictions when he spoke with ORCV media just after the start of the race.

“The decision is how far east you go and how far south you go to try and take advantage of that easterly when it comes in. 

“There’s really only one tack to worry about and its whether you go too early too late or just right... and given it’s light, it might be a smaller boat for handicap honours.

“The boat that gets the tack right will be the one that wins,” said Smallman.

Smallman and Hammond did well in their race, winning the Double Handed Division and Division 2 on ORC.

Ginan, skippered by Cameron McKenzie, took out the Doc Bennell Perpetual Trophy for the ORC win overall, and won ORC Division One. 

This year’s fleet was made up of experienced ocean racers, youngsters sailing their first ocean race, and others sailing double handed for the first time in their careers.

Aiden Geysen, skipper of Streetcar Racing, had a solid race on his Sun Fast 3300, with his team’s sailing program focused on building a new generation of ocean sailors.

“Our new boat is really well set up for shorthanded sailing, and ORCV’s four plus autohelm category is a really good way to get people who have been on fully crewed boats interested in shorthanded sailing,’ said Geysen.

Geysen has been passionate about sailing in different forms from a young age, being introduced to windsurfing by an uncle and aunt when he was ten growing up on the other side of the Dandenongs and later started sailing dinghies and wind foiling.

“I see this at the yacht clubs where you have all these people that learn these fantastic skills at a young age, and they are looking to transition into the next thing but might find it hard to take the next step into keelboat or ocean racing.

“On our boat, we play the long game… if you take the time to build new sailors’ skills up now, that will feed into your results into the future.

“I like to participate in the ORCV programs to get the younger sailors involved and build gender diversity as well,” said Geysen.

The race to Devonport was extra sweet for White Spirit’s co-skipper and ORCV member, Lillian Stewart, who led the winning team for the Australian Sailing National Sustainability Award which was announced just hours after the start.

Stewart also had a thrilling ride to Devonport.

“We were just flying and surfing down waves…we had a Code Zero up for 70 or 80 miles, running straight down Bass Strait, it was just spectacular. 

“There were whales as well, lots of beautiful marine life, and we were surrounded by birds on the high seas, it was just a great feeling,” said Stewart.

Stewart, a marine biologist and double handed sailor, organised a foreshore clean up around the Mersey Yacht Club only hours after finishing the race, with the volunteers determined to leave their sailing destination in a better state than when they arrived.

“It was only a quick walk, with a great group of volunteers – we picked up six shopping bags full of stuff that shouldn’t be in our marine environment including an oven door,” said Stewart.

Stewart co-skippers White Spirit with ORCV Commodore Cyrus Allen with the team prepping for the 2025 Melbourne to Osaka Cup in 2025.

This year’s race was also a memorable one for Extasea, with Dustin Popp and his crew winning line honours, taking home the Margaret Holmes Kerr Perpetual Trophy for the second year in a row.

Popp, representing the Geelong Yacht Club, finished the 195 nautical mile sprint from Queenscliff to Devonport in an elapsed time of 1d, 1hr, 3mins and 34sec, just over 30 minutes in front of the multihull line honours winner, Peccadillo, skippered by Charles Meredith.  

Popp was delighted with his back-to-back victories and acknowledged the generosity of owner Paul Buchholz for the opportunity to sail Extasea to Devonport and continue to build the experience of some of the younger crew.

Popp was also pleased to have a nice wardrobe of sails onboard for the race.

“As we got to the rhumb line after tacking, as predicted, the breeze turned and we eased sheets, got the Code Zero up and further down got the A2 up, then the A3 up, and carried that almost all the way in to the point where we weren’t going to lay the finish line so we dropped that and just came in three-sail reaching,” said Popp.   

The race was held in conjunction with the Mersey Yacht Club of Tasmania with sailors thanking the volunteers for their generous hospitality.
