Invitation to enter ORCV Winter Series

Dear Visitor,

I would like to invite you to participate in this year's ORCV Winter Series.

Leading on from the success of our reformatted 2018 Winter Series which saw 45 teams compete, with  a series of passage races of varying distances; from medium distance races around fixed marks at the top end of Port Phillip, to several longer distance passage races to Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron (BYS), Royal Geelong Yacht Club (RGYC) and Hobsons Bay Yacht Club (HBYC).

Races One to Four commence via a Tower Start from RMYS and RBYC respectively, as detailed in the Sailing Instructions.

Race Five, our Overnight's Navigator's Challenge, will commence simultaneously from several different locations, designed to offer convenience to each participant from all around the Bay.

Registrations are now open with the first race on 22nd June 2019.

As with the 2018 Series, there are stand alone perpetual race trophies for the Blairgowrie and Geelong passage races, as well as the Overnight Navigator's Challenge, and you can enter all events with a series entry, or each race individually

Entries are now open on our website www.orcv.org.au/winter-series
