The ORC World Championships is a unique event
The 2024 ORC World Championship will bring top sailing teams from around the globe to battle on Rhode Island Sound and Narragansett Bay for one of four coveted world titles.
It will be the first time in nearly a quarter century that sailing’s offshore world titles are decided on American waters. The last time was in 2000 when the New York Yacht Club hosted the IMS World Championship.
The event will include the standard ORC A, ORC B and ORC C divisions, but will also include Class 0 for the first time opening up the event to boats with CDL values up to 17.400.
Now, the event has added an important new class: Maxi yachts that are larger and faster than those competing in the Worlds and fighting for their own Maxi North American Championship title using ORC scoring.
