ROLEX BIG BOAT SERIES NEWS


Posts from January 2022

 
In 2022, St. Francis Yacht Club adopted the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) rating rule for handicapping their regattas, including Rolex Big Boat Series. Previously raced under the Offshore Rating Rule (ORR), all boats competing in Rolex Big Boat Series with a handicap will need ORC certification, with the exception of the Classics fleet, which will continue to race under ORR-EZ.

 
On September 15, 2022, when handicap fleets line up to compete in the Rolex Big Boat Series, they will be racing under rating rules established by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) rather than the Offshore Rating Rule (ORR). The four-day regatta, hosted by St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco, California, has been racing under ORR since 2014; now in 2022, the handicap divisions will be split according to ORC rules and ORC certificates will be required to compete.
