Melbourne to Stanley.
Ocean Race: 152 nm
Race Start: 2300 AEDT, off Queenscliff on Friday, 30th October 2015Event Category: 2
The ORCV's Melbourne to Stanley yacht race starts off Queenscliff and finishes at Stanley in Northwestern Tasmania. It is held each year on the Melbourne Cup long weekend. Please also note, that this is a qualifying race for both of the Melbourne to Hobart races, the Rolex Sydney Hobart yacht race but not required for the Melbourne to Devonport race. However, some crews still choose to do Stanley as practice for Australia's oldest ocean race across Bass Strait- the Rudder Cup.

MELBOURNE TO LAUNCESTON
Ocean Race: 198 nm Race Start: 1230hrs 27th December 2012 at Portsea Category: 2
Preliminary Advice. Australia's oldest ocean race (and the world's fifth oldest), the famous Melbourne to Launceston event starts on December 27, 2012. The winner receives (albeit quite briefly) the splendiferous 60 Guinea, Rudder Cup, as pictured below.
First run in 1907 and then a few years of each decade until the 60's, when it became an annual feature, the M2L is just perfect for the busy crew who have to back in Melbourne on or around New Year's Eve. Crews looking to go and stick their nose in it (Bass Strait, that is) for the first time also use the M2L as a thorough grounding in how to cross The Paddock. This race is resplendant with its own three-race series, as well. Additionally, it places you directly into some of the most stunning scenery in Tasmania and if you're a foodie/wine buff, well the Tamar and areas nearby are just a delight. So grab the gang, the golf clubs and switch off the mobile for a little RnR, Tassie style.

The Rally is designed to build confidence through experience for boat owners and their crews, providing a pathway to sailing further afield and in Bass Strait.
The Rally is also focused on providing participants with a wonderful experience and as a result will be heavily weather dependent.
The ORCV is delighted to partner with the these organisations who share our passion for developing and expanding the sport of ocean yacht racing:
Training
In pursuing the ORCV objective of developing and expanding the sport of ocean sailing and racing, we conduct training and education courses in order to:
- Satisfy prescribed sailing requirements,
- Transfer accumulated skills and knowledge of its members,
- Provide practical and hands on training with equipment and
- Supply education in areas of application relevant to blue-water sailing.
All ORCV training activities specifically relate to ocean sailing and racing, particularly where there may be barriers to entering this domain. They are designed to provide supplementary training, which compliments other available sailing training from commercial training organistations.
For more details on individual Training courses select the relevant sub-menu item for the course under the TRAINING Menu above.
