Corinthian Status Survey | Pacific Cup Admin

The Pacific Corinthian Trophy will be awarded to the Pac Cup-eligible boat, fully crewed by a Corinthian team, with the best corrected time.

"Corinthian" means you meet the World Sailing Category 1 requirements. These can be found at this link. In broadest terms, if you sail only as a pastime, you are Category 1. If you have been compensated for anything to do with sailing, you may be a Category 3.

It's best if you get a World Sailing number and fill out their questionnaire. It's pretty quick. If you are not even close, you can use the form below. All answers are subject to verification.
