The Royal Ocean Racing Club and the Union National pour la Course au Large, joint owners of the IRC Rule, have given IRC its own website. The new website will provide news feeds and new boat information and news of IRC events, race reports and results.

'We felt it was time to give IRC its own identity now that it is established in over 38 countries worldwide,' commented RORC Technical Manager, Jenny Howells. 'The web site is designed for sailors to get information about IRC including news and technical guidance. We hope to get feedback from the visitors to the web site, to make it as useful and practical as possible.'

The new web site - www.ircrating.org - is packed with information, with news feeds from both the RORC rating office and UNCL, new boat information from builders and designers and news of IRC events, race reports and results. A new feature is ‘Concentric Circles’ covering areas of IRC not usually in the limelight.

It is a one-stop shop for IRC technical information covering all of the following topics:

IRC Rules & Definitions

Guidance on measurement including stability & safety indexing

Worldwide IRC Rule Authorities’ details

Online TCC listings

Race management and advertising guidelines

Notices and interpretations

Congress and Committee information, including minutes of meetings

Online yearbooks from RORC Rating Office and UNCL Centre de Calcul
