For those of you that like to sleep, you may not be aware that the Marlay Point Overnight Race (MPOR) was held on 12/13 March 2022. The race has been running on the Gippsland lakes since 1969 and regularly attracts fleets of over 100 boats. Unlike many events the MPOR has managed to safely continue uninterrupted during the past 2 years of COVID difficulties, quite a triumph.
Once again, several MYC trailable boats made the trip to the lakes. Conditions during the race were light and cold and tested the patience and stamina of competitors.
MYC boats continue to punch above their weight with Zip skippered by Tim Donnellan picking up first place in the highly competitive Division D. Fake News skippered by Graeme Alexander finished 5th.
In Division C Moonshadow skippered by Scott Robinson finished a highly creditable 17th. Special mention to ex. MYC boat Pipalini and skipper Mitch Bayliss finishing 2nd.
Congratulations to all MYC boats and crews, enjoy a well-earned rest. As usual the memories of fatigue, cold and frustration will pass over the next 12 months and be replaced by happy reminiscences, leading ultimately to entering the 2023 MPON.
Thank you,
