Royal Ocean Racing Club, also known as RORC, is a privately owned organization headquartered in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1925, the organization employs approximately 30 individuals and functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company specializes in spectator sports, operating as a yacht racing club known for organizing offshore yacht races, including the Rolex Fastnet Race.
The Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) provided an update on the 2026 RORC Round Britain and Ireland Race on August 6, detailing the "Battle at the Front" where powerful monohulls in IRC Zero are competing for Line Honours and IRC corrected time, while the Class40 division will be determined by the first boat to finish. On the same day, RORC announced the RORC Pursuit Race, scheduled for Saturday, September 19, as the Cowes Finale, offering sailors a final race opportunity following North Sails Cowes Week. Previously, on August 4, RORC Griffin Pathway sailors received a practical introduction to PredictWind at the RORC Crew Party during North Sails Cowes Week, enhancing their weather insight for the Griffin Pathway Project. Earlier, on August 3, RORC emphasized the human element of the 2026 Round Britain and Ireland Race, focusing on sailors' stories rather than just distances, ahead of its Sunday, August 9 start from Cowes RYS Line. This followed the club's July 29 preview of the race, which described the over 1800 nautical miles of offshore racing as an "Extraordinary Challenge" for double-handed crews.
