Superyacht Handicapping

The Super Yacht Racing Association (SYRA), the world’s leading organiser of Super Yacht events, worked in cooperation with the ORC to create the ORC Super Yacht Rule (ORCsy). The project, which was developed between 2014 and 2015, includes the gathering of all data associated with yachts that intend to join Super Yacht regattas across the world.

ORC has also created this website dedicated to making available all the needed information, rules, guidelines, and forms related to the ORCsy system. This includes the following:

    • How to get log-in access to the ORCsy section of the website
    • The application process explaining how to get an ORCsy certificate
    • Detailed explanation of the parts of the ORCsy certificate
    • Description of Corinthian Spirit Class Certificates
    • Section for certificate payment
    • How to purchase the ORCsy DVP for designers, Builders, Project Managers, etc.

The scoring options can be found on page two, whereas page three showcases the measurements of the Hull, appendages, propeller, rig, flotation, stability, and inventory. The sail inventory measurements are listed on page four. Details here
