ORCV Hutchwilco Melbourne to Stanley (M2S)

It's close.

Yes. The start of the 2011 Hutchwilco Melbourne to Stanley is close and by association, that means the beginning of the 2011/12 Offshore Championship is also about to get underway.

Fully'N'Pushing takes us to 29 entries, which is just fantastic, so well done all. Here is the crew at the start of the 2011 M2G.

Now another thing that is also close, is the boat count by home club. The leader is Sandy with nine vessels, but hot on their heels is the Squady with eight. Brighton has five, then Royals with four and one to each of Hobbos, Mornington and Geelong. A great account by any measure.

This is Fully 'N' Pushing approaching the Spoil Ground mark, also during the 2011 M2G.

Now then, we have 29 vessels thus far in the M2S - Addiction, Alibi, Alien, Arch Rival, Cadibarra 8, Calm, Chikara Outlaw, Dekadence, Dry White, eXtasea, FullyNPushing, Gusto, Halcyon, Independent Endeavour, Jazz Player, Kiss Goodbye to MS, Magazan 53, Magic, Matrix, Mille Sabords, Nutcracker, Pretty Woman, Scarlet Runner, Slinky Malinky, Spirit of Downunder, Trybooking.com, Under Capricorn, Weekend Option and White Noise, which is good, but we know there are a few mor eto go, yet... Who's next? It's a lot easier to do this race than get your crew orgainsed to do your own qualifying passage, plus the seafood and hospitality of our friends in Stanley really are awesome. Cop this for a steak sandwich!
