Introduction to Offshore Racing Congress (ORC)
Pacific NW Offshore will be using ORC as the primary scoring method again this year. Although you can still use your PHRF rating for the cruising category, if you want to be scored in the overall category, you will need an ORC rating. This introduction is open to all who are interested in learning more about ORC or are considering making the transition, whether you plan to race in the PNWO or not. Admission is free and open to all. Food/beverages will be available for purchase. Zoom link to follow for remote participants.
