ORCV Melbourne to Geelong (M2G)

 


Teri Dodds - Part One.


Teri Dodds has, as always, turned in some sensational © pics for you of the final stages of the 2011 Melbourne to Geelong race held on Port Phiilip in what is now very cold and damp conditions with very little breeze bringing the last competitor home.

The main thing to note at this time is that the results are up, HERE. Well done to the crew and vessel below, who take out the Lord Warden Trophy for the third year running with just nine points this year from the seven races of the 2011 Winter Series, of which the Melbourne to Geelong event is the last leg. Tied for second place on 11 points are Jazz Player and Toecutter 2 with Lou Abraham's Challenge in third on 14 points.

Must have known the outcome, seeing as they're so relaxed. They were two points astern of Toecutter 2 at the start of the day...

Line Honours for Goldfinger in division and overall - and they covered the most distance to do it, too!

Biddy Hu II love a pic and would have loved the conditions with enough breeze to get 'em moving along.

Of course, by the time Stanley comes around, 
you just know Silly Season proper is upon you...
