Objective- To promote participation in handicap racing in the Mid-Atlantic region, the New Jersey Ocean Racing Conference was established to provide awards for yachts that compete in multiple regattas throughout the season.

Eligibility- Competing yachts must have a valid 2008 PHRF-MA certificate.

Trophies- Trophies will be awarded for first, second, and third place in the following divisions:

· Sport Boat – Yachts that are designated as sport boats by the PHRF-MA committee

· Division 1 – Yachts with PHRF-MA rating of 84 or less

· Division 2 – Yachts with PHRF-MA rating of 85 to 110

· Division 3 – Yachts with PHRF-MA rating of 111 to 135

· Division 4 - Yachts with PHRF-MA rating of 136 and greater

· Division 5 – Non-Spinnaker Yachts with PHRF-MA rating of 156 or less

· Division 6 – Non-Spinnaker Yachts with PHRF-MA rating of 157 and greater

Please note that these division breaks are for NJORC Championship Trophy scoring only. While PHRF-MA encourages the race committees of the qualifying regattas to attempt to follow these divisional breakdowns, as it will enhance competition throughout the season, the race committee of each qualifying regatta will determine the actual fleet splits used in that regatta.

PHRF-MA reserves the rights to add, subtract, or amalgamate division based on participation.

Qualifying- To qualify for the NJORC Season Championship trophies a yacht must sail in at least four (4) of the nine (9) regattas that have been designated as NJORC Qualifying Regattas.

· Bill Volk Memorial Regatta; Keyport Yacht Club; June 21-22

· 58th Red Grant Regatta; Raritan Yacht Club; July 12-13

· AHYC Ocean Race; Atlantic Highlands Yacht Club; July 19

· Heinrich Race; Manasquan River Yacht Club; July 20

· Squan Tri-Sail Regatta; BHYC, MRYC, MCYC, TRYC; July 26-27

· Blue Water Regatta; Atlantic Highlands Yacht Club; Aug. 9-10

· Sailfest; PHRF-MA; Sept. 6

· RYC Fall Regatta; Raritan Yacht Club; Sept. 13-14

· Poco Loco Race; Richmond County Yacht Club; Sept. 27


Scoring- Yachts will be scored using the final place awarded in the division sailed in each qualifying regatta.

NJORC Scoring for each regatta will be calculated as a percentage, determined as the number of boats beaten in the division sailed plus one, divided by the number of boats in that division

NJORC Season Championship scoring for each yacht will be the sum of its best four (4) percentage scores.

If the race committee of a qualifying regatta scores a yacht without a valid PHRF-MA certificate in a NJORC qualifying division, NJORC will not use the scores for that division at that regatta for the Season Championship trophies.

Ties will be decided in favor of the yacht that competed in more NJORC regattas.

Awards- NJORC Season Championship trophies will be awarded at the annual meeting/diner.
