ORC Interest Survey

This is a survey of boat owners and sailors in the Pacific Northwest about ORC racing. We are using it to gauge interest in the ORC rating system and its scoring options.


We are also looking at this survey to gauge interest in future ORC events that might be hosted by Black Wolf Racing.


We may share the results of this survey with ORC Canada and ORC USA.

ORC Sport Boats

We think that the Sport Boat class has a lot of potential to improve the racing experience of this kind of boat. Please help us to gauge support.


ORC has a defined Sport Boat Class with class rules. You can see those here. They are between 6-9.15m (19.6-30 feet) they displace less than 2000 kg and have a displacement to weight ratio of less than 6.66.


Some popular boats: Sonar 23, GP26, J70, J80, Melges 24, Moore 24.

There is a chance that the ORC North American Championships could come to Victoria in 2028. Please indicate your level of enthusiasm. This is a big and exciting event. It represents a major (4-5 days of racing) continental championship for a major class.
