- Check out the ORCV Facebook page and results page for the Westcoaster. Well done to Jaffa in the Westcoaster and congratulations to Ginan for winning the Sovereign Series.
- Both Ocean races were very tough this year. See the Sydney Hobart Facebook page for some great stories and videos. Well done to Rush and while it was disappointing for Cyan Moon that they couldn’t finish, we were very pleased when they made it safely into port.
- Many RBYC boats enjoyed the Cock of the Bay, with some moving on to the Petersville regatta. Congratulations to Jahmu for great Cock of the Bay Results (2nd in AMS and PHS and 3rd in ORC) and for winning the Petersville on both AMS and ORC.
