2022/23 ORCV Championships
As we approach 60 boats in the 50th Melbourne to Hobart and crews prepare with the qualifier to Devonport, the upcoming sailing season is shaping up to be big. Add into the mix some Coastal Sprints and the 70th Apollo Bay and you may automatically qualify for one of the 3 ORCV Championships, Coastal, Offshore or Double-Handed. The competition will be strong for all Championships this season.
Competing in 4 races (some category 2) will qualify you for the ORCV Offshore Championship point score. Compete in 3 of the 4 coastal races to qualify for the Coastal Championship. Compete double handed and you’re eligible too for the Double Handed Championship.
With 3 Championships, Offshore, Coastal and Double Handed there’s going to be some great competition for those looking to join the names on the perpetual trophies of those who have won them before.
