Women's Helm, Navigator & Radio Operator Race (WHNR)

NOTE: This race has been cancelled. We encourage all entrants to join the Winter Series Race 4 to Geelong and the Novice Return Race 

WHNR is a stand alone passage event with Royal Geelong Yacht Club (RGYC) as the destination club. This event recognises the increasing number of women becoming involved with the ORCV with the move of the KISS (Keelboat Introduction to Sailing Savvy) program formally to ORCV Training.  The Racing Division will attract more experienced sailors whilst the Cruising Division will encourage newly graduated KISS alumni, less experienced women or those who prefer cruising. 

An additional opportunity exists for a "sail in company" from RGYC to boats’ home clubs on Sunday to maximise the opportunity for all women to actively participate across a variety of roles.
