Presentation. The race presentations will be held at The Great Ocean Road Brewhouse at a time determined by your Race Directors. Dave and his team at the Brewhouse are expecting the first arrivals around 6 pm for dinner and have arranged a band from 8pm for your enjoyment. The kitchen closes at 8.30 pm so we ask you to come up for dinner soon after arriving as tables may need to be turned over for crews arriving later. Please check your boat intention to stay is correct below so we can keep updating the pub.

Clean Oceans. As with all ORCV races, we encourage each boat and competitor to reduce the level of single-use plastic on board by using reusable and water bottles, using boat cutlery and plates, refilling onboard and taking food in reusable containers. Apollo Bay has natural beauty and a community that is focused on sustainability.
Enjoy the beautiful weather and what's going to be an amazing Great Ocean Road Sail.
