The Storm Trysail Club, in collaboration with the New York Yacht Club and the Chicago Yacht Club, kicked off a webinar series dedicated to the introduction and explanation of the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) earlier this month and will continue this week on Wednesday at 7:30pm (Eastern).

This educational initiative aims to engage a broad audience, offering valuable insights into understanding the ORC Rating Rule and fostering connections with seasoned sailors and rating experts who will be available to address your questions. The US Sailing Offshore Office was also on hand to provide insight in the last webinar.

The series is open to all sailors, and participation in these informative webinars is entirely free of charge. The intention is to create an inclusive platform where participants can gain a deeper understanding of the ORC and its nuances, ultimately providing a forum for meaningful interaction.

No pre-registration is necessary; attendees can simply join the webinar via the Zoom at 6:30 Central/ 7:30 Eastern at the links below. Furthermore, for the convenience of those unable to attend the live sessions, each webinar will be recorded and made accessible for viewing after its conclusion.
