Looking for Cruising Racers
- Details
- Last Updated on Monday, 17 February 2014 16:01
Have you raced in a regatta and then cruised with the family around the area?
We are looking for a few IRC sailors who use their boat for cruising as well as racing, and more specifically those who have been to a major regatta and combined it with a cruise/family holiday on the boat. This would be for a potential article instigated by the Rating Office about 'getting maximum value from your boat', with the aim of publication in a relevant sailing magazine and/or we may consider publishing any contributions in next year's IRC Yearbook.
We know that a lot of you sail your boat to events outside your usual racing area; however what we are more interested in are those who have taken the boat to an event (perhaps one of the many IRC Championships around the country!?), then been for a cruise around the area with the family.
If this sounds like you, please get in touch! or pass this on to a friend if know anyone it might apply to. Please email Jenny Howells at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Thank you to those of you who have already emailed about this article.

With 2014 marking the 30th Anniversary of the IRC rating rule, a major milestone in the provision of fair and simple ratings for racing sailors around the world, the RORC Rating Office is requesting your help to record some of your most memorable racing moments, either during this landmark year or from the past 30 years, for publication in the 2015 IRC Yearbook.
IRC 2014 - adjustable mast foot & forestay clarification
- Details
- Last Updated on Wednesday, 22 January 2014 15:05
It has come to our attention that IRC Notice 2013-03 Mast Foot & Forestay was misleading regarding when a boat would incur an increase in rating for an adjustable mast foot and/or forestay.
The wording has therefore been updated for clarification and published on the IRC website.
The IRC Technical Committee apologises for any confusion.
IRC 2014 TCC changes

Updated 22/1/14
For 2014, the IRC Technical Committee has made a number of changes to the calculation of IRC TCCs.
Most of these have small effects, or affect only a small minority of boats. In a number of cases, they either simplify the IRC software or make it more logical, without intent to change TCCs. Any effects in these cases are therefore also small and are not discussed in the published document (link below).
