As we all start digging out our foulies, finding the diver’s phone number and dragging the sails back onboard, race organizers are hard at work as well. With the growing interest in the ORC handicapping system, Seattle Yacht Club is hosting a scoring workshop on Saturday to help race organizers get their rudders in row. No doubt there will be a lot of basic information on the system as well, Everyone’s welcome. No matter your stand on handicap systems, it’s good to know the systems. Personally, I think there’s a future for a measurement-based system in the Pacific Northwest, particularly as an option for the more “serious” among us.

Here are the particulars:

Ian Lloyd of ORC Canada will lead a two-hour interactive workshop on ORC scoring and the ORC Scorer Software including:

  • Importing of boat’s performance files
  • Race set up
  • Scoring options including Time on Time, Time on Distance and Performance Curve scoring
  • Exporting results and scratch sheets.

 Who should attend? 

  • Race Officers
  • Boat Owners
  • Racers

Participants should download the ORC Scorer software to their (Windows X) laptop in advance of the workshop.
