The Ronstan Cock of the Bay race, hosted by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV) was underway in Melbourne on Boxing Day, 2023, with 82 boats and 561 crew members bound for Mornington. The weather's outlook was exciting, with 15 knots east to south easterly winds at the start line, building to 25+ knots as the boats headed down south. Esprit had won Division 1, AMS, for the last 2 years.
Can Esprit win a hat trick?
Yes, absolutely. In a workman like effort in pretty tough conditions, Esprit won this race for the third time.
