22 Dec 2017 / Melbourne, Australia
Victorian Ports Melbourne have advised that 21 yachts will compete in the ORCV Melbourne to Hobart Race on Tuesday 27 December.
The race will start at 1430 hours local time in the vicinity of the Portsea Pier, then the yachts will sail through Port Phillip Heads, across Bass Strait, down to the West Coast of Tasmania to finish at Hobart, Tasmania.
Expect to see white and green starting signal flares at 1425 and 1430 hours respectively. The fleet should clear the Heads approximately one hour after the start.
At 1415, ORCV will broadcast an update of shipping movements on VHF Channel 12. All yachts in the fleet are required to monitor this broadcast and maintain a listening watch on VHF Channel 12 until 3NM outside the Heads, then revert to Channel 16.
Two hours prior to the commencement of the race, the Race Director will contact Lonsdale VTS to determine vessel movements. The race start may be delayed for a short time to avoid shipping at the Heads.
