Introduction to Offshore Racing Congress (ORC)
Pacific NW Offshore will again use ORC as the primary scoring method this year. Although you can still use your PHRF rating for the cruising category, you will need an ORC rating to be scored in the Overall category. This Introduction is open to anyone interested in learning more about ORC or 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.
