Melbourne to Vanuatu 2006, Ocean Skins an Inglis 47, owned and skippered by Tony Fowler ( Pictured on the wheel). The only Geelong entrant in the fleet. They were well rugged up with bitter cold southerly winds heading out of the rip today shortly after the 12pm start off Portsea. Sydney entrant Andrew Short Marine lead the fleet to the rounding mark off Queenscliff, followed by Gusto, Helsal II and the Ocean Skins. The race will take approximately 2 weeks to complete, however they are travelling into warmer waters, where there wet weather gear can be packed away into the cabin. 02/07/06, Ocean Racing Club of Victoria, Port Phillip Heads, Victoria, Australia.
