Rolex Sydney Hobart 2009 ORCi - Full results

by www.sail-world.com on 10 Feb 2010
The ORCi division was introduced into the race for the first time this year in response to a growing push among Australian owners for a more measurement-based, transparent rule than IRC.

Two True (Andrew Saies), Beneteau First 40 won the 2009 Rolex Sydney Hobart on ORCi as well as on IRC.
Second was and Steven Prouds Sydney 48 Swish. Third was Tony Kirby's Patrice Six, a X-yacht X-41.

Ragamuffin's veteran skipper Syd Fischer, who finished nineth under ORCi was strongly behind the move towards the news offshore rating ssystem. He was both surprised and gratified that 33 boats in the 100-boat fleet, raced under ORCi as well as IRC. 'I think it will be a great rule because it's fully measured, transparent and we don't have anyone's input into it other than the measurements,' he said.

'It's fair. I can't stand anything that isn't fair because people spend a lot of money on these boats. If you look around the world there's billions of dollars spent on them and they've come into what's a club rule.'
