ORC VPP - Designer's version


ORC VPP (Velocity Prediction Program) is the core of the ORC International and ORC Club Rating Systems. The software is accompanied by an IMS management agent and can perform the following operations: reads the IMS measurements of the yachts in their usual OFF and DAT format, calculates the hydrostatics and measurement data, predicts their speed under 7 wind speeds by 14 sailing conditions and produces selected handicaps for calculating race results.

The ORC VPP Designer's version uses the same software used by Rating officers to issue certificates, a function that is not implemented in this version which however gives a complete set of hydro and aerodynamic data, as defined by the ORC rules but also as conventionally calculated.

ORC VPP is completely new, Windows based software, easy to use, with user-friendly interface and standard Windows functions. You can take a look at screen shots preview.

Any designer may process design data through the VPP to analyse rating effects and the software is therefore regarded as essential to anyone contemplating an “ORC design” project.

The annual subscription to the ORC VPP is 500 EUR. Upon receipt of your payment, you will receive credentials to log on the DVP Subscribers web page, from where you can download the installation software package, which you can regularly check for updates during the period of one year of both the VPP core and the editing and management interfaces.
