ORC Annual Report 2025 Now Available

4 November 2025 - Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, Ireland - The 2025 ORC Annual Report has just been published. The report provides a comprehensive overview of ORC activities, growth, and innovation throughout the year — from record participation and championship highlights to ongoing technical development projects.

In 2025, the ORC Rating Systems continued their global expansion, with more than 14,000 certificates issued to nearly 9,700 boats across 45 countries — a 5% increase compared to 2024.

The report also features detailed coverage of this year’s World and Continental Championships, including the Garmin ORC Worlds 2025 in Tallinn, the Double-Handed Worlds in Monfalcone, the European Championship in Palma, and Double-Handed European Championship in Helsinki – each showcasing competitive fleets and outstanding race management.

Technological progress remains a key focus for ORC. The Weather Routing Scoring (WRS) system — developed in cooperation with PredictWind — was successfully used at major offshore events worldwide.

Additional updates include continued growth of ORC Multihull and ORC Superyacht fleets, the launch of the ORC Light Certificate pilot in Italy, and renewed partnerships across media and events — including the Yacht Racing Forum and Seahorse Magazine.
