In accordance with IRC Rule 11.2, the GBR IRC Rule Authority prescribes that for the RORC Transatlantic Race 2015, IRC Rule 21.6.1 is varied to the extent that a boat may carry one more spinnaker than shown on her current certificate of area not greater than rated SPA without an increase in rating.
Spinlock IRC Start Up scheme launched to help UK club racing
British sailing clubs that would like to start using the Spinlock IRC rating system for their club racing can now benefit from a new scheme being offered by the Lymington-based Rating Office, the technical centre of the RORC and administrators of the IRC rating system.
Spinlock IRC 'Start Up' offers discounts on rating application fees for club members in the first two years, encouraging the development of an IRC fleet for local racing. 2014 saw the successful introduction of IRC at Flushing Sailing Club in the South West and Blackwater Joint Racing Committee on the East Coast, both having taken advantage of this scheme to kickstart their IRC club racing.
