Sail into the Future of Offshore Racing with ORC Weather Routing Scoring (WRS)

Setting sail into precision and excitement, ORC Weather Routing Scoring (WRS) blends cutting-edge weather routing from PredictWind and polar performance ratings from ORC, creating a scoring method that leaves luck at the shore!

Renowned navigator Stan Honey hails ORC WRS as a game-changer.

Stan Honey: “Weather Routing Scoring uses three highly complex technologies, sailboat performance prediction, weather forecasting, and optimal routing, to make racing simpler. With TCFs for each boat issued prior to the start, time allowances are easy to figure so sailors can race tactically, knowing who to cover and when to split. ORC should be commended for the best possible use of technology to make racing simpler and more fun.”

Stan Honey is the winning navigator on the Volvo Ocean Race, set numerous race records in Transpac and other prominent offshore races, course records in the trans-Atlantic, Jules Verne Trophy around the world, etc - to name only a few of his achievements.

The details are described in the WRS Q & A section on our website and should help guide race organizers and sailors to how and when it should be used in coastal and offshore races.

Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to the future of offshore racing!
