Volvo Ocean Race winning skipper, and General Manager of North Sails UK, Ian Walker, hosted a panel of experts including RORC Commodore, James Neville whose boat Ino XXX was second overall in the 2021 Rolex Fastnet Race, and Class Winner in our Season's Points Championship on numerous occasions.

North Sails European Design Manager, David Lenz has an unrivalled knowledge of the practical and technical aspects of IRC Racing. Sam North, a true Corinthian double-handed RORC Member, was 2nd in class and 3rd overall in Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race, all on a tight budget.

This is your chance to learn not only how to optimise your boat, mast and sails to win under the IRC rule, but also how to improve your racing performance in general.
