ORR Rule Owners Meeting

As part of our ongoing desire to engage and consult with our ORR competitors around the StFYC application of the ORR rule for Aldo Alessio/Phyllis Kleinman Swiftsure Regatta and Rolex Big Boat Series 2020, we’d like to invite owners and competitors for an update on lessons learned from 2019 and our plans for 2020.

Last year some competitors encountered errors in US Sailing issued certificates. We’d like to update you on US Sailing and ORA’s ongoing process to address data quality and verification. Members of the ORA Board will be on hand to address this topic. As a club we have no control over this process but we want to keep you updated on the quality improvement plan they have in place.

In 2019 we implemented the application of up to 6 time correction factors (TCF’s) for scorning to reflect 3 different course configurations and 2 wind ranges and we’re looking to revisit this with the goal of reducing complexity while maintaining scoring accuracy. We’re even reviewing course configurations to facilitate in this area.Owners, skippers, owner representatives and crew are welcome.
