Offshore Racing Congress

 
For over 50 years the Offshore Racing Congress has managed and developed the IOR, IMS and now ORC rating systems used in inshore and offshore racing around the world. For the past 20 years ORC has also organized annual World and European championship events, and provides the tools needed for fair racing among thousands of sailors competing in hundreds of local, regional and national races and regattas in 45 countries. It is the largest World Sailing-recognized handicap system in the world, issuing >10,000 certificates per year.

ORC European Championships

 

Since 2009, the Offshore Racing Congress  has helped organize an annual ORC European Championship event that attracts teams from throughout the continent and even beyond. The formats of these events have evolved to test the inshore and offshore racing skills of the entries. Besides titles awarded to the overall podium finishers in three classes, there are prizes also awarded to the top all-amateur Corinthian teams as well.
