ORCV Hutchwilco Melbourne to Stanley (M2S)

So who's this, then?

Trybooking.com is an Elan 434 from the Royal Brighton Yacht Club. They've done things like the Boxing Day Dash before, so when they popped on to the entries list for Stanley, we thought it was a good time to ask the question.

Grant Dunoon is the proud skipper of this 2006 build vessel and we got to not only ask who they are, but what might be next on the cards....

"Thank you for your interest in us. We are all very much looking forward to the race. It feels like two years in the making for us, as our crew of seven souls is made up of RBYC Sabotparents. All of us have/had children in the RYBC program for the last five years and its only in the last two years that we all got together as a crew to do the Wednesday twilight racing. This is what has led us to now", said Grant.

Kim Walker, the Tactician, has the helm for bit...

Left to right it is Kate Parker, Mike Hodgson and Ross Fisher.

"I will be overseas this Christmas, but hope to be back for Geelong Week and then with the view of doing both the Port Fairy and Apollo Bay races, followed by the Melbourne to Hobart in 2012. Unfortunately, King Island clashes with a work commitment", he said. Ed. Never fear. We'll eat your steak sandwiches for you...

More Boxing Day Dash action, just after SYC #4.

Plenty of this where you're going!

Excellent stuff and we hope you get a lot from it all, team.

Just what we like to see - people taking it on and going and sticking their noses in it (Bass Strait, that is...). Right. 15 vessels thus far for M2S - Addiction, Alien, Arch Rival, Calm, Dry White, Gusto, Jazz Player, Kiss Goodbye to MS, Magazan 53, Magic, Mille Sabords, Slinky Malinky, Spirit of Downunder, Trybooking.com and White Noise.
