ORC North American Championship 2027

Date: 14 November 2027 – 20 November 2027

Location: Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale, United States

Organizer: Storm Trysail Club and Southern Ocean Racing Conference (SORC)

Fort Lauderdale hosts the ORC North American Championship from 14 to 20 November 2027, co-organised by the Storm Trysail Club, founded in 1938, and the Southern Ocean Racing Conference, two institutions with deep roots in American winter offshore racing. The seven day championship features a signature blend of offshore, coastal and buoy racing in the warm waters and reliable breeze off south Florida, with the fleet scored under ORC International certificates. The late season date positions the regatta as a season opener for the Florida winter circuit, and organisers have opened a pre-interest form for prospective entries. Full notice of race details will follow via the Storm Trysail Club and orc.org.
