A new race entry system 'SailRaceHQ' has been launched by RORC

The Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) has launched a new race entry system SailRaceHQ, replacing the old Sailgate system with immediate effect.

'Following a three-year study and build programme, SailRaceHQ is a totally new system that has many advantages and user-friendly features', say RORC

Simpler entry process
Online completion of OSR checklists
Online declarations
Ability to load a profile of you and your yacht
Online record of miles sailed
Real time race results
Automated notifications of outstanding requirements
Updated payment system
Crew Match section
Race documents all in one location

If you intend to enter any RORC race from the 2023 RORC Caribbean 600 and beyond, including the 2023 Rolex Fastnet Race, you must register with SailRaceHQ.

RORC has also issued an apology to those who have already entered under the old system, as it is necessary for them re-register at SailRaceHQ.

THE RORC:

Established in 1925, The Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) became famous for the biennial Fastnet Race and the international team event, the Admiral's Cup. It organises an annual series of domestic offshore races from its base in Cowes as well as inshore regattas including the RORC Easter Challenge and the IRC European Championship (includes the Commodores' Cup) in the Solent
The RORC works with other yacht clubs to promote their offshore races and provides marketing and organisational support. The RORC Caribbean 600, based in Antigua and the first offshore race in the Caribbean, has been an instant success. The 10th edition took place in February 2018. The RORC extended its organisational expertise by creating the RORC Transatlantic Race from Lanzarote to Grenada, the first of which was in November 2014
The club is based in St James' Place, London, but after a merger with The Royal Corinthian Yacht Club in Cowes now boasts a superb clubhouse facility at the entrance to Cowes Harbour and a membership of over 4,000
