Cock of the Bay 2020, part 1.
___
You may or may not know, but I have been a sailor on and off for the last 10 or 11 years. For most of that time it has been in small boats just big enough for two people. But in the past year or two I’ve been sailing on large keel boats, typically in the 40-45ft (12-14 m) range. Every Boxing Day there is a popular day race called Cock of the Bay (as in top sailor/boat of Port Phillip Bay). Usually it races from Port Melbourne to Blairgowrie via Brighton, Sandringham and Mornington. Usually there is a large after party held at Blairgowrie yacht club. However this year there obviously couldn’t be any large crowds, so the race was shortened to Mornington, with the idea being you sail back to your own club and celebrate on your own boat. This was my first race outside of a club. I was on a 45 ft (14 m) cruising boat called Alliance. We had a total of eight people onboard. Captions are as follows:
1. Sailing yacht “Javelin” changes their headsail and passes another yacht with their asymmetric spinnaker out. This was before the start of the race.
2. Race official boat posing as one end of the start line. The other end was near Station Pier.
3. Razzle Dazzle prepares to use their pole in the light wind conditions.
4. Simon (left) and Mick (right) relax between tachs (turns across the wind).
5. The Australian flag flies behind the boat, framing the now faint city skyline with another boat on a starboard tach (heading upwind with the wind coming from the starboard side of the boat).
6. Hot Chipps flies their spinnaker after completing the race and heading back to its home at Sandringham.
7. INSX prepares to fly their spinnaker on the return to Sandringham.
8. Almost at the finish line, we pass another bigger boat. Blue hulled boats always look nice.
9. Finally on the return ourselves, we also fly our asymmetric spinnaker. A rarity for us as during typical club racing we aren’t allowed to use it.

After a short delay, all 27 boats have started at 7.45am in very light winds for the ORCV West Offshore Products Coastal Sprint. The conditions at the start are so light that some say they can even enjoy a latte ☕ and ham and cheese croissant 🥐and what a beautiful day ☀️as spinnakers start to fill. 📷 Glenn and Madison Fitzgerald

Cock of the Bay, Part 2.
___
See my previous post for background. Captions are as follows:
1. Motoring up to Port Melbourne for the start.
2. Pottering around the start with over 100 other boats.
3. Spinnakers are out for the light northerly winds 5 minutes after start.
4. Crew member Natasha poses with many other yachts flying their colourful spinnakers in the background.
5. The fleet gets closer together a bit over 10 minutes into the race.
6. With the sails set, Natasha’s shirt paints an accurate picture of fair weather sailing: “my drinking team has a sailing problem”. She is of Russian background.
7. Cruising at a steady pace down to Mornington, Simon, Mick and Ron relax in the fine weather.
8. Mick relieves Ron from the helm so he can join the rest of the crew with their feet up and the boat heeling nicely on a tach.
9. Sandringham registered racing yacht “Arch de Triomphe” has finished the race and is cruising back to Sandringham.
10. With the city in the background, there is a mix between yachts cruising back and yachts still racing. We are about 10 minutes from finishing ourselves.

“Master the bow position and you will always have a boat to sail on. Skill up and be confident and you can go places with it” says Pete Dowdney after 30 years and an amazing sailing career. I'm keen to share my knowledge, the tips and proven techniques in this new course which starts May 12. Bookings are essential and can be made here https://www.orcv.org.au/training/bowman-essentials #masterthebow

Photography as an extreme sport, bounching along in a high speed rescue boat trying not to bounce out with all my camera eqipment!

Cock of the Bay, Part 3.
___
See my previous 2 posts for background and other photos. Captions are as follows:
1. After finishing the race we decided to put up our spinnaker and sail back to Sandringham. Collette and Natasha are relaxing.
2. Looking forward with our 'Gennaker' sail flying - a cross between a traditional symmetrical spinnaker and a Genoa (typical large headsail overlapping the mast). This kind of sail is also known as just a asymmetric spinnaker.
3. With the boat level heading down wind, the drinks and snacks have come out.
4. Back at the harbour, the whole crew poses for a photo. Names are (left to right, top to bottom): Mick, Ron, Mylene, Simon, Collette, Darren, Natasha, Floyd.
5. Another group photo. Instead of saying "cheese", sailors shout "ease!!" in a pressing voice. This is a joke about having to scramble to ease the sails during an unexpected gust to avoid the boat becoming over powered.
6. With the sun setting, the boat is pretty much packed up and boat co-owner Alex (who wasn't onboard that day) chats with crew members Mick and Darren.
7. Collette and Mylene join the conversation on the dock.
8. Sunset from the beach carpark.
9. Closeup of the yacht club from the beach carpark.
10. Cargo ships and a lone oil rig are silhouetted against the orange sky. It's times like this you appreciate living in Melbourne near the sea.

Remainder of ORCV 2019/20 Summer Racing Season Cancelled. Our Government’s, both State and Federal, have announced various measures to control the speed and extent of spread of the virus including shutting down non-essential services and travel. As a result, all sailing events of which ORCV is the Organising Authority taking place between today 25th March 2020 and end of May 2020 will be cancelled. This includes ORCV Coastal Race 3, Double Handed Race and Apollo Bay. The ORCV General Committee will revisit the position on sailing events beyond this date in four weeks’ time – which will allow us to make a call on the Winter Series.

Picture perfect on Bass strait for the West Offshore Coastal Sprint. The start was delayed to 11am with a start outside the heads and a shorter course set. Beautiful day to enjoy sailing on Bass Strait. These races are short to allow you to develop your crew or introduce them to ocean sailing. They are coastal so are category 3. Next race April so come and give it a try.

The ORCV is providing you a rare opportunity to learn from the world-renowned navigator, Will Oxley and respected Melbourne Double handed sailor, Rod Smallman with three new online Navigation courses. Whilst most yachts have some form of navigation software, these courses aim to ensure you lift your knowledge to make a massive difference when you’re racing.
The courses will use technology (as well as understanding the basics of paper charts) to advance skills. A level of competency in a boat’s technology in Navionics or Expedition (in the Masterclass) is required to gain the most from these sessions. We teach how to best find the information using the technology, how to interpret it and maximise the value of what it’s telling you. Delivered in person over multiple session, there’s time for you to absorb, complete the tasks to really excel. Limited places exist, learn more and book here https://bit.ly/ORCVNav 📷Amory Ross

Yoko, owned and skippered by Robin Hewitt was a contender in most ORCV races between 1982 to 2017. She competed in 35 consecutive Melbourne to Hobart Westcoasters, 2 Melbourne to Osaka's, Melbourne to Vanuatu and was seen on most start lines of the ORCV races clocking up over 200,000 nm during her time. Yoko was a Ben Lexcen designed, steel hulled 15.4m masthead sloop.
With hundreds of crew who sailed on Yoko or were mentored by Robin what years or races did you sail on Yoko and do you have a favourite memory to share? 📷Steb Fisher

Jade Cole and Barney Walker set their sights on winning the Rudder Cup, adding to the list of short handed sailor who have won this trophy over the years. The Victorian border is open and lockdown over, so a wide variety of boats and crews have come out of hibernation to quench their thirst for sailing – and what better way to celebrate a return to racing than with Australia’s oldest race and most historic trophy – the Rudder Cup – a pure silver trophy valued at $180,000.
