‘e-marineworld Skips’ (formally Quickskips), a Farrier F9AX tri wins the ‘e-marineworld 2009, Southern Ocean Multihull Regatta’ (SOMR) held on Western Port in Victoria.

The crew of e-marineworld Skips, Tim Pepperell, Robin Reiger, Tony Holt and Gale Perry had a great time at SOMR, taking out line honours in all four races winning the prestigious Greyhound trophy.

The regatta was held in light and fluky frustrating conditions except for the first reach in the first race. Tim Pepperell said 'the first race was the most exciting of the series when sailing across to Joes Island, on a tight reach, holding our mast head kite was exciting when sticking it in several times going from 16 to 0 knots four times before we ran out of water and needed to drop the kite in a hurry'.

The four race series was hosted by the Hastings Yacht Club in-conjunction with the Multihull Yacht Club of Victoria and was fiercely contested by, eight local boats Red Shift, Frassld, Chilli, Rainbow Connection, Mustang Sally, With Teeth and Shuttle.

All races were tightly contested with the final handicap in both PHC & OMR results finishing the top four boats within three minutes of each other. After the wind dropped out again in the last race SOMR race control had no choice but to shorten course which had all of the fleet motoring back to the club for a pack up and get ready for the SOMR presentation dinner.

Great food, good music and a good Shriek made the night a winner just like the e-marineworld Skips Team....
