Melbourne’s Christmas yacht races draw huge fleets 23 December 2020
Victoria’s yacht racing community will be out in force between Christmas and New Year as sailors shake off the cobwebs after a long winter in lockdown.
More than 120 entries have been received for the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria’s two Christmas events, the Cock of the Bay and the Rudder Cup.
Cock of the Bay
A record fleet of 106 yachts will face the Cock of the Bay starter at Port Melbourne on Boxing Day before racing 22nm to Mornington. The course takes them along the north-eastern shoreline of Port Phillip to Sandringham, providing a spectacle for cyclists, walkers and beach-goers, before heading across the Bay to the finish line.
