This week we weigh into the ORC XR41 controversy. After winning the ORC Worlds the ORC's technical committee have imposed a 10sec per mile handicap on the design. Well that is what we have been hearing, but what actually is the case? We reached out to two designers, (Britt Ward VP -Farr yacht design and Nicolas Goldenberg Director and Designer Morfrac) currently working on a brand new ORC boat to find out what is going on and what it all means.
