Port Fairy Yacht Club is excited to host the ORCV - Queenscliff to Port Fairy Ocean Race again this year.
Traditionallyro held over the Easter holiday, the race to the historic and picturesque western district town of Port Fairy is one of three coastal races conducted by the club.
The 135 mile course is often a race in two parts. The first takes competing yachts south-westwards past the coastal resorts of Torquay, Anglesea, Lorne and Apollo Bay before rounding rugged Cape Otway. The second part is from Cape Otway to the finish line where it is often possible to ease sheets for a reach or run. The race is part of the offshore Championship.
Race Record: 14h 26m 20s by QUASIMODO in 1984
The club is generally a very busy and fun atmosphere during this event and we welcome you all to come along to cheer the yachts coming in the river after the race while enjoying what the club has to offer throughout the weekend!
Last years race proved to be a tough race. Let's hope for better conditions or potential record breaking conditions.
We look forward to seeing all yachts and crews at the club.
