The Charleston Ocean Racing Association (CORA) was formed in 1967, operating as a volunteer, non-profit organization that endeavors to foster a passion for sailing. Its mission is to promote, organize, and conduct competitive sailboat racing year round in Charleston’s harbor and offshore waters as a premiere racing destination in the Southeast. It aims to advocate and support a wide spectrum of racing activities with local yacht clubs and to assist boat owners to obtain competent member crew.
CORA is a volunteer run, non-profit organization that has over 200 Associate Members and over 70 Boat Owner Members.
