Streetwise “Streetcar” lines up for the Apollo Bay race.

Streetcar, a Jeanneau Sunfast 3200, skippered by Aidan Geysen from Royal Brighton Yacht Club is one of twenty boats that will line-up for the start in the ORCV Apollo Bay race.  This fifty-four nautical mile race starting off Queenscliff on Saturday, May 19 at 0630 hrs is a great first ocean passage race for aspiring ocean racers.

After the race explore Apollo Bay.

Once you have crossed the finish line and have tied-up in the harbour why not take some time to explore Apollo Bay.  This seaside township  is nestled in the heavily forested rolling foothills of the Otway Ranges and conceals waterfalls and lakes with abundant wildlife. 

Short but Tricky!

2012 Melbourne to Apollo Bay Race.

The next ORCV ocean race is the Melbourne to Apollo Bay race which will start at 0600hrs off Queenscliff on May 19, 2012.

Covering a distance of fifty-four nautical miles -  this maybe short, but tricky - well and truly!

More Sailing Vids.

Well, they polled really well last time and here is another. Overexposed for sure, but doing 16 knots downhill in a 39 footer looks good, no matter what.

At any rate, many thanks to Team BO for getting the material to us.

Go HERE to watch it.

Go HERE for the overall M2AB (not) results.

You race, make the material and we'll post it...

	Not a place to go into  in an Easterly or if you  draw too much. Plenty of souls around to ask  about that and there's also  the bombora out the front. Supertramp above looks bad,  but had storm boards in etc. Port was closed thereafter,  though... Don't even attempt to go in  with an Easterly blowing,  however...
