The Italian ORC Fleet Signature
The Italian ORC fleet leans AEROMAX — power-efficiency hybrids that favor medium-air transitions. At 15.9% of the fleet (251 boats), it's the signal that shapes Italian course selection as much as the course selection shapes it. STEELFORM (11.5%) anchors the upwind-stable contingent.
- AEROMAX 15.9% · 251 boats

Dimension emphasis: Sail Performance · Condition & Tactical
In 2026, this fleet hosts the ORC World Championship at Sorrento (May 5–14) — where its acceleration-forward hybrids will find their canvas.
