The Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV) is a leading authority on ocean sailing, racing and training in Australia. The club was formed so that ocean races in Victorian waters could be efficiently developed and run by an organisation focusing specifically on the needs of ocean racers and sailors. We function as a non-profit organisation, which draws its membership from all of the major yacht clubs in Victoria, but do not compete with other yacht clubs by operating a clubhouse or marina facility. The ORCV was formed as the Cruising Yacht Club of Victoria by a group of yachtsmen in 1949 and renamed in 1972. The ORCV was incorporated in 1986. The ORCV is an Organising Authority of Category 1, 2 and 3 ocean races and a Yachting Australia Training Centre (YATC) with five YA accredited Yachtmaster Offshore and Safety & Sea Survival Course Instructors. The ORCV is a member club of Yachting Victoria, with affiliations to Yachting Australia and the International Sailing Federation.
