Social Side of Melbourne to Osaka not forgotten
We know of the Melbourne to Osaka as a ‘sailors’ race’.This is an endurance race where the competitors have to be great sailors – there is neither hype nor hangers on – just great sailors. For years the Hokko Yacht Club has been an absolutely fabulous host at the end of the race……competitors have been treated like kings and queens and feted for their achievement of completing the race. For the 2013 Melbourne to Osaka race we are organizing some terrific hospitality for the entrants before the start of the race in March. A ‘buddy system’ will be set up so each international and interstate competitor has a small group of volunteers to help make the job of getting their boat ready for the race easier. We would like to make the competitors feel at home in Melbourne – feel they are supported and can relax in the midst of the pressure of preparation. If you would like to be part of the support group for the competitors please contact Kate Mitchell at
