The Summer Short Offshore Series is a newly introduced series which replaces the Club Marine Ocean Pointscore, Short Ocean Pointscore and Short Haul Pointscore, consolidating the racing into a single, diverse Series.
With 11 races held fortnightly from September to March, the series will feature a mix of five coastal windward/leeward races and six passage races. The series will be open to Spinnaker and Non-Spinnaker boats with multiple divisions each race day.

The Series will also have a Double Handed division to provide a training and racing platform for our double handed fleet.
For added flexibility, the series will have:
- Spring Subseries – All races before Christmas
- Autumn Subseries – All races after Christmas
- Windward/Leeward Subseries – Five high-intensity W/L races
- Passage Subseries – Six tactical passage races
Competitors competing in the Summer Short Offshore Series require a Special Regulations Audit of Category 4.
