The Charleston Ocean Racing Association (CORA) was formed in 1967 and races year round in Charleston's historic harbor and offshore waters. The primary objects of this Association are to promote sailing, to encourage good fellowship among sailors, afloat and ashore, to assist boat-owner members to obtain competent and congenial crews, and to assist its non-boat owning members to obtain desirable berths. In accomplishing its objects, the Association will use good faith in bringing owners and crew together and in making crew arrangements, but will not be liable for the acts or failures to act of any boat owner or crewmember.
COME TO A CORA MEETING. They are the third Thursday of every month, 6:30pm at the Charleston Yacht Club, except for June, July and August where we race weekly.
