MELBOURNE OSAKA CUP

About the race.

The Osaka Cup double handed yacht race is held every four years on average, organised through the collaborative effort of three yacht clubs:

• Sandringham Yacht Club (SYC) in Melbourne, Australia
• Hokko Yacht Club (OHYC) in Osaka, Japan
• The Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV) in Melbourne, Australia

The course starts off Portsea taking the competitors into Bass Strait and up the east coast of Australia. At some point boats cross the East Australian current into the South easterly trade winds, then through the Solomon Islands and the doldrums of the equator. It then heads into the North easterly trade winds and the equatorial current before fighting the Kuroshio (Japan current), which flows up the Pacific Coast of Japan. The race finishes in the port of Osaka on Japan’s Honshu Island.

The objective of the Osaka Cup is to promote a challenging long-distance, short-handed racing event traversing the Pacific Ocean and in so doing, to provide a proving ground for true seamanship. It’s also designed to encourage the development of suitable seaworthy yachts and appropriate gear, supplies and techniques for short-handed ocean crossings under sail.

The race, first held in 1987 to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the opening of the Port of Osaka, is now held every five years (on average) to celebrate the City of Melbourne and the City of Osaka Sister City and Sister Port relationship.

It has been proposed that the Osaka Cup race will take place for the ninth time in 2025 .

The race participants sail from Melbourne to Osaka without stop-overs or outside assistance, traveling backward through the seasons with autumn in Melbourne, summer at the equator and spring in Osaka.

Like any major ocean race, many factors can be attributed to the final results. All competitors will agree, “just making it to the start line” is a huge achievement in itself. Getting to the finish line, “Is like a marathon – the feeling of achievement is unbelievable”. The greeting received in Japan is like no other, as each crew is celebrated and congratulated as they arrive, regardless of their race result.

This is Australia’s longest Category 1 yacht race, the equivalent of eight back-to-back Sydney to Hobart’s with only two people on board.

The Melbourne City Council provide the licence to use the “Melbourne to Osaka Double Handed Yacht Club” trademark and have provided hospitality support in the past.

The Right Tack - Yacht Race Management & Administration

I have been running sailing races for many, many years and the one thing the sailors want at the end of the day is fast accurate results, and for handicap racing, the ability to produce credible handicaps for the next race. Top Yacht has been developed over some years to meet those criteria easily.

BYS has been using TopYacht for the past 24 months and assists us with our complex keelboat handicapping and off the beach races. All of the components from online entry, to advanced handicapping and electronic sign on are great features that make everything a breeze.

Melbourne to Hobart Fleet Ready to Set a Cracking Pace to Hobart

Skippers and crews from the near 50 boat fleet are counting down the days to the start of the 50 th anniversary of the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria’s (ORCV) Melbourne to Hobart Yacht Race and as final preparations are made, several boats are in contention for line honours.

One of the top performing boats to watch is Damien King’s Frers 61, Margaret Rintoul V (MRV). King, from the Sandringham Yacht Club (SYC), is certainly in form, taking line honours in the short coastal Apollo Bay Race earlier in the year, sailing the classic beauty to victory in a close race.

King, a multiple world and national champion sailor, boasts one of the classiest and most experienced sailing crews in the fleet who are not only hot shot sailors but also lifetime friends of the popular skipper.

Mark Byrne is the navigator on MRV and is an accomplished yachtsman in his own right.  King will be sharing the helming duties with close friend Grant Allen, and will be looking to America’s Cup campaigner, Ben Morrison-Jack, to give MRV the drive and tactical advantage on the trip to Hobart.

“I’ve never competed in this race before, but if it’s anything like the Sydney to Hobart, the race can be won or lost in the River Derwent. Luckily for us we have international sailor Tim Burnell on board. Tim is a local and has sailed on the Derwent for the past 35 years,” said King. Burnell will be hoping for a touch of family luck as he tries to repeat the previous success of his father, Rob Burnell, who won the race on two occasions.

Sailing with close friends is important to King. “Apart from Nick [Sayer], we have all grown up sailing together from 14 years of age, and while we are lifelong competitors, we are all the best of mates, so we have plenty of laughs among the serious competition”, said King.

Launched in 1996, MRV is widely regarded as one of the finest and most luxurious cruising yachts ever built in Australia. The yacht was built for then Sydney-based sailor, Stan Edward, under the experienced eye of the late international yachtsman Tasmania’s Graeme ("Frizzle") Freeman, who was appointed to oversee the build and fit out, a task he performed for many successful campaigns.

Previous winner and champion offshore sailor Paul Buchholz will push his Cookson 50, Extasea, hard and fast to Hobart with an eye on the 2022 line honours prize while fending off Gerry Cantwell’s Marten 49, Carrera S, and Antony Walton’s Reichel/Pugh 46, Hartbreaker which could also be in contention for first home if the conditions suit them.

The prestigious Heemskerk Perpetual trophy will go to the handicap winner on AMS and the field for this is wide open.

Rob Date’s Carkeek 43, Scarlet Runner, also from the SYC is in hot contention for the handicap win and, if the conditions are right, could also push the larger boats for line honours. Launched in 2022, she is designed to the Fast 40+ class rule and has achieved outstanding results on the competitive European circuit.

Challenging Scarlet Runner will be Victorian entry, Ginan. While an unknown quantity in the Westcoaster, skippers Nigel Jones and Cam McKenzie bought the J111 specifically to campaign her for the 50 th race. The skippers have engaged the expertise of a J111 expert who will be onboard for the race and driving the crew for peak performance. Jones is no stranger to success, skippering Paladin to an overall win in the 1990 race and Cadibarra 7 in 1999.

Not to be underestimated is Andrew Jones’s Inglis 47, AdvantEDGE from the Port Dalrymple Yacht Club and Brent McKay’s Bakewell/White Z39, Jazz Player, which took line honours in 2009 under the guidance of skipper Andrew Lawrence.

McKay has his sights set on a hard and fast sail to Hobart.

“To win the race, we need to be smart about how we sail – making the right choice around King Island and making the most of the conditions when we sail up the Derwent. We will be working the boat hard, but one thing we know, when she’s off the wind, she’ll get up and boogie,” said McKay. (In the 2021 race, 80 percent of the fleet went west of King Island including eventual winner, Faster Forward, a rare feat in the race’s history books).

The 435 nautical mile Melbourne to Hobart Yacht Race, organised by the ORCV with the cooperation of the Derwent Sailing Squadron, starts off Portsea Pier at 12pm on 27 December.

The race for Moscow City Council seats is getting more crowded as two candidates filed on Thursday.  Incumbent Drew Davis filed for re-election and Evan Holmes filed for a seat.  There are three Moscow City Council seats up for election in November.  Incumbent Sandra Kelly is running for re-election.  Bryce Blankenship, Joe Campbell and Nathan Tupper are also running for a seat.  The top three vote getters will earn seats on Moscow City Council.  One of the posts up for election is currently held by Maureen Laflin.

Elsewhere in Latah County Genesee Mayor John Hermann has filed for re-election.
