The ORC certificate,
activated.

In 2025, ORC issued over 14,000 certificates — the most in its history. Each one contains hull geometry, rig dimensions, stability curves, and a full polar grid. SailEdge™ activates that certified baseline and turns it into a living comparison surface for sailors, lofts, and design teams.

The Vision

Every certificate. A living reference.

Today, an ORC certificate is a measurement document. Sailors file it. Measurers issue it. Rating authorities reference it. But the data inside — hull geometry, rig dimensions, stability curves, certified polars — is rich enough to support meaningful sail and performance comparisons for every boat that holds one.

SailEdge activates the certificate. Upload it, and the system builds a living digital twin in seconds: interactive, visual, testable. Every sail in the inventory can be compared against the same certified baseline across the wind envelope. The certificate stops being a static document and becomes a performance instrument the sailor carries to the dock, the loft, and the starting line.


The Value

Three ways the certificate gains value.

Certificate Value

Every certificate becomes the seed for a digital twin with 850,000+ baseline-anchored sail comparisons. The measurement data ORC already collects powers an entire layer of downstream intelligence — without changing a single field on the certificate itself.

Engagement

Sailors return to their certificate data every time they open SailEdge — before a race, after a sail purchase, during a loft consultation. The certificate becomes something they use, not something they file. Renewal becomes a natural decision.

Accessibility

SailEdge runs on any device. No desktop VPP software, no spreadsheet expertise required. A club racer with a phone and a certificate gets the same physics as a grand-prix team. The certificate’s value reaches every tier of the fleet.


The Platform

Built. Live. Growing.

14,000+ Certificates

Over 14,000 ORC certificates issued in 2025 — the most in ORC history. Every one holds the data for a living digital twin.

Traceable Physics

A certificate-anchored force-balance engine that preserves the ORC baseline while resolving hull resistance, heel equilibrium, and per-sail aerodynamics server-side.

18.4M Optimal

The Optimal Map evaluates up to 18.4M baseline-anchored comparisons depending on the size of your sail wardrobe, to find the winning configuration at every wind speed and angle. First of its kind.

Interactive Explorer

3D digital twin, Edge Maps, Sail Studies, crew weight analysis — all from the certificate, all on any device.

SailEdge is built on ORC data, not around it. Certificate data is preserved exactly as issued. Every delta is measured from the certified baseline. We don’t change the certificate — we activate it.

Now Live

FleetEdge™: fleet-level intelligence.

The same certificate-to-twin pipeline that powers individual boat analysis now scales to entire fleets. FleetEdge covers 11,000+ boats — ORC-rated and IRC-rated — across 11 performance archetypes, 20+ nations, and 11 dimension families, all built from the certificate physics ORC established.

Fleet Composition

See how 11,000+ boats break down by hull efficiency, sail performance, and design family. Filter by nation, event, class, or rating system to isolate the cohort that matters.

Performance Archetypes

Eleven branded archetypes — from AEROMAX to DEEPFRAME — computed from multi-dimensional analytics across the fleet. See which types define your class.

Same Physics

Built on the same patent-pending VPP-class force-balance engine as SailEdge. Every archetype, every dimension, every ranking is anchored to ORC certificate data.

Growing Fleet

11,000+ boats across ORC and IRC — and growing. The certificate you issue is the entry point for every boat in the system, and the physics you certify now reach boats that race under other handicap systems.

SailEdge is the microscope — individual boat physics. FleetEdge is the telescope — fleet patterns and positioning. Same certificates. Same science. A new lens on the fleet you govern.

Cross-Handicap

Beyond ORC. The certificate reaches boats
that don’t have one.

Thousands of boats race under IRC — the world’s most widely used offshore handicap system — without the hull geometry, rig dimensions, and polar data that ORC certificates provide. Until now, these boats were invisible to physics-based fleet analytics.

Using measured hull dimensions published on IRC certificates — length, beam, draft, and displacement ratio — FleetEdge matches each IRC boat to its ORC design-family equivalent and projects the full physics profile. A J/109 racing IRC in the Solent is the same hull as a J/109 racing ORC in the Mediterranean. Same mold. Same hydrodynamics. Same physics.

2,400+

IRC Certificates

Measured hull dimensions from the IRC rating authority — matched to ORC class siblings by geometry. Hull length, beam, and draft validated to sub-centimeter accuracy against 498 dual-rated boats.

93%

Match Rate

IRC boats matched to their ORC design families across three confidence tiers — First 34.7, First 36.7, J/109, Dufour 34, J/88, TP 52, and 40+ more production classes.

1,600+

New Boats

IRC boats that have never held an ORC certificate, now analyzed with ORC-grade physics. Every twin carries its match confidence, the ORC donor identity, and the geometric distance between the two hulls.

Transparent provenance. Every IRC twin is clearly labeled as a physics projection from an ORC class sibling — not as measured certificate data. The ORC certificate’s integrity is preserved. What changes is its reach.


Let’s bring the certificate to life — for your fleet.

14,000+ ORC certificates issued in 2025. 2,400+ IRC certificates matched by hull physics. 11,000+ boats in the FleetEdge fleet — and growing.
