In our effort to give as many opportunities to sailors to participate at the the most prestigious, high performance Optimist Event, The R.O.C. Organizers, starting from the 2027 season, provide two R.O.C. Opti WildCards through a raffle, for anyone to participate.

Purchasing a Raffle R.O.C. Opti WildCard, gives a sailor the opportunity to enter the lottery and win one of the two R.O.C. Opti WildCards for the Season.
If the Sailors manages to win his/her qualification through the events described in the R.O.C. Opti NoR then the raffle entry is fully refunded.
Possible multiple raffle entries for each sailor.
The Raffle of the two WildCards, through this process, will take place Live, at the Official YouTube Channel – The R.O.C., on a date specified by the organizers.
Part of the proceeds of the R.O.C. Opti WildCard Raffle will be invested in the Sailors Academic Scholarship Awards, OR to help opti sailing in underdeveloped countries.
