SSORC - Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 November
The 40th anniversary of Middle Harbour Yacht Club’s (MHYC) Sydney Short Ocean Racing Championship (SSORC) will be conducted this weekend, proudly sponsored by Helly Hansen, Sydney City Marine, Club Marine & Robert Oatley Vineyards.
MHYC will be a hive of activity with both offshore and inshore racing.
The Sydney Short Ocean Racing Championships (SSORC) comprise two ocean races - a passage race on Saturday and a hybrid course race on Sunday using laid and virtual marks.
Saturday is the Seven Islands pursuit race incorporating all the harbour islands. This is race 2 of the Jeanneau Cup Series. With a separate fleet start, it will also provide the first race of the Super 12 Spring Regatta. The Super 12s will be back on Sunday for three windward-leeward races to complete their series.
The Notices of Race and Sailing Instructions for all the weekend's sailing can be downloaded from the Race Documents section of the SSORC Website - www.ssorc.mhyc.com.au
Make sure you get down to the club for all the action each day!
Middle Harbour Yacht Club would like to thank Helly Hansen and Sydney City Marine for their support of the Sydney Short Ocean Racing Championship.

The gentle sight and sound of rippling water reaching the sundrenched beach - something your guests will remember forever.
