THE EQUAL CHANCE TO WIN

Over 50 years after its start , ORC, through its national rating offices, is the largest measurement-based rating system in the world, issuing over 14,000 certificates to yachts in 40 countries, ranging from Sportboats to Superyachts and Multihulls .

The ORC establishes the rules and regulations that govern offshore racing and for organizing offshore racing events around the world in order to give every boat "the equal chance to win" - the fundamental principle that refers to how the ORC system can rate nearly every kind of boat in a scientific and unbiased manner to create fair ratings, thus giving all boats an equal chance to win on the race course.
