Multihulls at AVW Geelong 2010
The Multihull Yacht Club of Victoria (MYCV) in conjunction with Audi Victoria Week Principle Race Officer Denis Thompson, have organised an extended regatta starting on Tuesday 19th of January 2010 through to Sunday 24th of January 2010. The series will be staged predominately around fixed marks on Corio and Port Phillip Bay. There will be a combination of short and passage races which includes starting with the 350 plus fleet in the famous Melbourne to Geelong Race. Handicaps will be based on the OMR system and finalised before 6:30pm on Monday 18th of January 2010. All yachts must apply with category 5 safety regulations.
Although we start and finish at RGYC, we will stay 3 nights at ‘Marina Yarras Edge’ situated up the Yarra River near the City. This will enable us to showcase Multihull sailing on the top end of the bay and incorporate the King of Docklands sail off which includes two multihull crews’ ‘e-marineworld skips’ and ‘Wilparina 2’. Come along and support your Multihull mates while attending the Audi Victoria Week party.
A formal dinner will be held on Tuesday 19th of January at RGYC, at a cost of $25 per head. This year’s dinner was a great success and we are endeavouring to make 2010 even better.
Any crews, especially interstate boats, needing help with arrangements/logistics please contact the MYCV committee. The MYCV is committed in making this event the premier Multihull regatta in Australia, hence are proud to invite all racing and cruising multihull yachts to attend.
