FIRST-EVER ORC DH EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP OPEN FOR ENTRIES ✍️ ⛵ 🤩

The Hellenic Offshore Racing Club (HORC) @hellenic_offshore_racing_club and the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) @orcsailing are pleased to announce that the entry process is now open for the first-ever ORC Double Handed European Championship to be held over 2-10 July 2021. The event is being held concurrently with the AEGEAN 600 @aegean600, a non-stop 600-mile full-crew race tour of the Aegean Sea that also starts and ends in Sounio.

The ORC DH Europeans is a new event in the portfolio of annual ORC World and European championships, one that harnesses the growing enthusiasm for Double Handed sailing following the proposal by World Sailing for this to be included as a mixed gender two-person offshore keelboat event in the Olympic program for the 2024 Games in Paris.

The regatta will be based at the Olympic Marine @olympic_marine , gateway to the Aegean Sea, 70 km southeast from central Athens and just north of Cape Sounion. The format consists of a short Coastal Race and a Long Offshore Race worth 1.0 and 1.5 points, respectively, with registrations and inspections starting on Friday, 2 July and concluding on Sunday, 4 July before the Coastal Race start on Monday, 5 July. The intended length of this race is 10-12 hours on a course set in the Saronikos Gulf and the Cyclades islands.

After a recovery day on Tuesday, racing will resume on Wednesday, 7 July with the Long Offshore Race of 60-72 hours duration in the same course area in the Aegean. Awards will be given in a Closing Ceremony held on Saturday, 10 July.

HORC @hellenic_offshore_racing_club was awarded the 2021 ORC DOUBLE HANDED EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP.

The Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) @orcsailing awarded the 2021 ORC Double Handed European Championship to the Hellenic Offshore Racing Club.

This is the first European Double Handed Championship to be organized by ORC, after the decision of World Sailing @worldsailingofficial to include the mixed two-person offshore keelboat event in the Olympic program.

The event will be held from 4-10 July 2021, alongside the international sailing race "AEGEAN 600" @aegean600 (non-stop 600 mile race) organized by HORC on the same dates and the conduct of which for 2020 was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A key role in the selection of HORC has been its long history in holding world championships and the excellent preparation and presentation.

Hellenic Offshore Racing Club is in close collaboration with the ORC Offshore Classes and Events Committee regarding the format to be decided for the initial ORC Double Handed European Championship. Further details will be issued later this month.

Dear Friends, Thank you very much for your heartfe

Dear Friends,
Thank you very much for your heartfelt desire to participate in the inaugural edition of the AEGEAN 600 Yacht Race which coincides with our own strong desire and efforts to organize the race this year. Our solid belief and great expectations for this new event is what kept us postponing the decision of whether or not to hold the race until the start of the summer season, when we would have a clearer view of the COVID-19 pandemic situation.
Unfortunately, due to the continuous uncertainty regarding international travel restrictions and mandatory quarantines imposed by certain countries, there is a real risk that some competitors may not be able to join this year’s edition. Furthermore, the global uncertainty about the spread of the pandemic continues while the Greek (and many other) State and health authorities have imposed restrictions enforcing social distancing. This has forced us to cancel all the entertainment and cultural side events that we had planned to offer in order to ensure pleasant and unique moments for you, your families and significant others, along with the opportunity to discover more about the cultural heritage of Greece.
In order to ensure the safety of this event, the AEGEAN 600 Organising Committee-in addition to following the World Sailing guidelines for the protection of the health of sailing communities and the contingency plans required-requested an official authorization by the General Secretariat of Sports as well as by the National Committee of Public Health.The authorization was granted but on the condition that the aforementioned competent authorities will have the right to withdraw their initial approval on the basis of the evolution of epidemiological data. Under such uncertainty and with a sense of duty to protect our AEGEAN 600 participants, we have decided to postpone the AEGEAN 600 Yacht Race for next year, starting on July 4th, 2021.We hope that conditions will improve by then and that your desire to be part of a beautiful race in the historic Aegean Sea will still be strong, so that we can all enjoy a world class race,in the picturesque setting of the Aegean Sea islands offering truly unique sailing memories.
