Submissions for ORC Annual Meeting

The Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) has confirmed the Submissions to its 2026 Annual Meeting on October 31-November 4.

There are a total of 51 submissions from national authorities in nine countries around the world and the ORC Management Committee that have asked for changes to ORC rules and policies in a wide array of topics, ranging from boat, rig and sail measurements to reporting race results to use of ORC’s Weather Routed Scoring (WRS).

“We are pleased to see such active engagement of our constituencies around the world that are using ORC,” said Bruno Finzi, Chairman of ORC. “This process is important to keep our rules and policies relevant and evolving with the sport, both at the technical and political levels.”

At the Annual Meeting, the Chairman of each committee reports to the ORC Congress the decisions made from discussions on these submissions and what they recommend to the Congress to vote on for rule changes made for the 2027 sailing season.
