Who is a boat representative?
If someone other than the owner will handle certificate processing, payment, or needs to be included in the process, please provide their information below (e.g., another owner, crew member, or captain).
What is a boat ID?
US Sailing has assigned a unique boat ID (SKU) to every boat that was issued an ORC or ORR certificate since 2022. You should have received an email from US Sailing assigning you a boat ID for your boat.
Boat ID Support: If your Boat ID is not working in the field above, please try the following steps:
In order to obtain a certificate the owner of the boat must have a valid US Sailing Membership or, for foreign vessels, must be a member in good standing of their National Governing Body for Sailing. If you are not a US Sailing member or need to renew your membership please click here to apply for membership. If you have any questions please contact the Offshore Office at Offshore@USSailing.org
ORR Partially Measured v. Fully Measured
Partially Measured - owners are allowed to declare a subset of the complete measurement, while other parameters are assigned by the rating office. Where input data is incomplete, the rating office will use data from sister-ships that err to a faster rating.
Fully Measured - based on a complete measurement carried out by a US Sailing Official Yacht Measurer. This is the most accurate rating the rule system offers.
Please complete the following questions to identify what configuration or changes from an existing certificate you would like to test with this trial certificate. All data pertaining to the areas listed below will be completed later in the form.
Fill in all rig measurements that have changed or would change if the trial configuration is accepted. Please complete any rig changes in metric units (meters and kilograms).
SINGLE FURLING HEADSAIL
To qualify for the single furling headsail credit your boat must carry only one headsail which is rolled/furled as the wind increases. This headsail must be the only headsail carried aside from a heavy weather jib no larger than prescribed by World Sailing. If this describes your configuration please select yes, if not select no.
Please enter measurements in metric units (meters and kilograms) only.
Only complete data for the areas that have changed. Please enter measurements in metric units (meters and kilograms) only.
Please complete the following questions based on the most recent measurements taken of the boat.
Use the question below to report ALL types of sails you would like to add to the trial certificate. You DO NOT need to report sails that have previously been reported to US Sailing.
Please use the drop down menus below to learn more about what sails are required under each measurement rule.

Below is a list of the sails that must be reported on ORC Certificates. Please review the list even if you are a seasoned competitor:
You are also welcome to report all your sails to us, if you do so, please report the sail measurement through the Sail Measurement Form for each sail. Your sailmaker can supply you with these measurements or they can send them to us directly. If you are unsure on if a sail should be reported or is the largest of its category, please send us the sail anyway and we will help decide if it is needed.
