All entrants in the 2009 M2AB have an equal chance to be winners this year

Donaghys are doing something about the GFC. They were so thrilled about the response from the M2KI presentations that they've decided to double up and all entrants in the 2009 M2AB have an equal chance to be winners!

Not one, but two reels will be given to two lucky Skippers and their crews who win the draw this time!!! Now that reely is putting something into the sport! Many thanks then to Daryl Ford of Donaghys for this exceptional generosity in these difficult times.

80m of 8mm Dyneema® core is on offer. Dyneema® SK75 is the world’s strongest fibre, with the ultimate strength to weight ratio for high performance applications - Dyneema® braids include Superbraid and Ocean 12.

"Well this really is something. Donaghys have gone all out here and we are so happy that they feel such a strong affinity with the our club", ORCV Race Director Simon Dryden enthused today. "Good thing we have the ORCV truck to haul it all down in", he went on to add.

So if you're racing to Apollo Bay this year, there's now an added incentive to get there, as if the MOC standings and the seafood at Apollo Bay weren't enough inspiration. Because the weather forecast isn’t going to fill you with joy – let’s face it. Normally, you have to be at the Presentations in order to be in the running, but as there is a chance that Apollo Bay Harbour will be closed, we will place all starters in the running for these tremendous prizes.
