Melbourne to Osaka (and Marketplace)
Ready to roll, too.
Following on from Ready to Roll (Pt.I) and Chikara4Sale, where we looked at some of the vessels around to do the 2013 Melbourne to Osaka race in, we find that there is a very well credentialled vessel available for you, that currently lives in Melbourne. If you're on a bit of a budget, then this good, tough boat may have your name written all over it, just like it has its own!!!
Turbo, off Cheviot Beach, just outside Port Phillip Heads, at the start of the 2010 M2V
Turbo, is an Adams 11.9, which has already been to Osaka in 2003, was the overall winner of the 1885nm 2010 Melbourne to Vanuatu race and won Line Honours in the 2008 iteration of Australia's oldest ocean race, that dash across The Paddock, more commonly known as Melbourne to Launceston. Yes indeedy, that's a great pedigree for this nugget of a vessel. Being an Adams, you know she will get along once the sheets have been eased or the Bag's up. Turbo even has a newish Graham Radford keel installed.
To get a look, talk the talk or secure this vessel, email or call her owner,
Bill Feore, seen here with ORCV Commodore, Doald Fraser, collecting the prize for third in AMS Div2 at the 2010 Boxing Day Dash. Earlier on in the same year, Turbo won both PHS and IRC in the 2010 M2V.
