Formerly the SORC Sailor’s Choice, this South Florida offshore favorite kicks off November 19 with optional inshore buoy racing off Port Everglades—a preview of the 2027 ORC North American Championships—before the fleet heads offshore on Friday.

Competitors start and finish in Fort Lauderdale, racing around a series of physical and virtual marks along Florida’s east coast and in the western Bahamas. The final course will be set shortly before the regatta to provide a challenging overnight race while getting the fleet back to Fort Lauderdale in time for an enjoyable awards party at Lauderdale Yacht Club. Register now and join us for the SORC Ocean Race—the perfect way to kick off the SORC season!
