Club Captain Brett Heath recently welcomed Timika from the Lighthouse Foundation to Friday night in the members’ bar. This year, RBYC has partnered with the Lighthouse Foundation to raise money for young people experiencing homelessness or trauma. The Lighthouse Foundation model works by uniting foster carers around a central ‘Hub Home’ where trained therapeutic carers offer regular respite, access to trauma informed support and advice to the entire foster family.

Sail Sydney Review

RBYC had a strong team of young sailors attend Sail Sydney from the 15th to the 18th of December. The club was represented across almost all classes with results to be proud of! The event was wild and windy with 3 out of the 4 days recording gusts well beyond the 30-knot mark.

Melbourne to Hobart Fleet Ready to Set a Cracking Pace to Hobart
|
|
|
Media Release 19 December 2022 Melbourne to Hobart Fleet Ready to Set a Cracking Pace to HobartSkippers and crews from the near 50 boat fleet are counting down the days to the start of the 50th anniversary of the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria’s (ORCV) Melbourne to Hobart Yacht Race and as final preparations are made, several boats are in …

|
|
|
|
This year the Cock of the Bay race will run from Port Melbourne and will finish at Mornington. With already 70 entries into the race, we do expect this year to be a big fleet with interstate crews joining the race before they head off on the 50th Melbourne to Hobart the next day. Please note, entries close on December 16th.
|
|
The shorter distance will allow those not entered in the Hobart race or joining the Petersville regatta to enjoy a great day out on the water to work off those excesses of Christmas and allow time to sail home or to another location (other than BYS) in time for sunset drinks.

ORCV Rip Tour of Port Phillip Heads
|
|
|
|
“The Rip” is the narrow entrance to Port Phillip, where underwater reefs limit the navigable entrance to just 0.6nm and provides a restricted tidal flow between the ocean and Port Phillip, where over 4,000 commercial vessels transit annually. Once a year, the ORCV runs an on-water tour from a large ferry looking at the navigation aids, tides, how to and which channels to use, radio protocols etc for a safe transit of the heads. The tour runs inside the bay but travels around the head's region, and offers not only an educational experience but a great day on the water. A great Christmas gift, learn more and book here https://www.orcv.org.au/training/rip-tour-of-port-phillip-heads
