East Anglian Offshore Racing Association

Chairmans Message 2013

Welcome to 2013 the 64th season of Offshore racing on the East Coast.

Tony EAORA Chairman This season we have changed the programme to make it easier to take part in EAORA, with fewer races needed to qualify enabling a boat to compete in just three weekends including the Offshore Regatta. 2013 sees EAORA introducing a range of new initiatives not only in association with its member clubs, but jointly with other organisations on the East Coast to strengthen cruiser racing in our region. I'll be bringing you more information about these coordinated initiatives later in the season as they evolve from the Eastern Cruiser Racing Seminar which took place in February. These are exciting times for East Coast Racing.

The 2013 Offshore Series is made up of 10 races with 6 to count (any 4 races can be discarded), including the 180 mile RORC North Sea Race to

Often Asked Questions – How do I get involved in EAORA Events?
Here are the answers to some of the questions regarding getting started and preparing a yacht to take part in an EAORA event.

What are the EAORA Events ? - The EAORA annual programme comprises 9 to 12 events, of which, a competitor must complete a minimum number to qualify for the season’s class and overall points. The programme is a mixture of off-shore races and coastal races and competitors can opt to take part in the complete series or just the coastal events. They must however comply with the general conditions within the Part 1 Sailing Instructions contained within the Handbook or downloadable from this website.
