Storm Trysail Club 🤝 SORC A partnership already known for excellent racing is working together to host the 2027 ORC North Americans. 📍 Fort Lauderdale 📆 November 14–20, 2027 🏆 Championship Racing Designed to Test Every Skill

The SORC series heads across the Gulf Stream in our last race, the Miami to Nassau Cup. The race blends tradition with serious offshore racing, offering a course that's short enough to be tactical and an offshore experience the racing world takes seriously.

Weather is at the forefront of our sport- we rely on it, we harness it, and we know we cannot change it. The 78th Block Island Race delivered classic Northeast spring conditions and a course that tested every sailor’s resilience, tactics, and teamwork. buff.ly/ZV3bmJd
