#THE EQUAL CHANCE TO WIN

More than five decades since its inception, ORC has emerged as the world's preeminent measurement-based rating system, operating through its national rating offices. It has issued over 14,000 certificates to yachts across 45 countries, encompassing a diverse spectrum, from Sportboats to Superyachts and Multihulls.

The ORC serves as the architect of the rules and regulations that underpin offshore racing and the orchestration of offshore racing events across the globe. Its core mission is to ensure that every vessel is granted "an equal chance to win." This foundational principle underscores the ORC system's exceptional ability to scientifically and impartially rate a wide array of boats. By creating equitable ratings, the ORC system levels the playing field, offering all boats an equal opportunity to secure victory on the racecourse.
