Audi Victoria Week (ex Skandia Geelong Week)

The AVW committee have approved the following Multihull Program. They had safety concerns about the passage race to Mount Martha so we have swapped it for a passage race directly to Melbourne and 2 races around the top end of Port Phillip. We expect the celebrations in Docklands to be huge this year with a new main sponsor and a rebranding of the event, so it will good to be a more active part of it. We are expecting a fleet of 18 to 20 with new boats joining in from both SA and Vic... some support from up north would be the cherry on the top!!
  • Mon 18th Jan...........Launch RGYC, measuring, registration, informal dinner in evening
  • Tue 19th Jan..........2 races around fixed marks in Corio Bay. Formal dinner at RGYC
  • Wed 20th Jan.........Passage race to Melbourne.
