16 December - Monfalcone, Italy -  Past weekend, the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) team held its annual staff meeting at the iconic Monfalcone Yacht Club, where we were planning the 2025 season and refined our long-term strategy for 2025–2030. This 3-day meeting was filled with exciting discussions, such as innovative tools like RaceFlow, expanding into key global markets, and strengthening our commitment to sustainability.

We were thrilled to hear about Monfalcone Yacht Club’s ambitious plans, including the development of the Monfalcone Sailing Academy and, of course, the preparations for hosting the ORC Doublehanded World Championship in September 2025.

We had the honor of meeting Monfalcone’s former mayor, Anna Maria Cisint, now a member of the European Parliament, along with her delegation and representatives from the FIV - Federazione Italiana Vela, who emphasized the importance of the upcoming ORC title championship for the city and region.

Together, we are shaping the waves of tomorrow!
