RORC and UNCL announce new website: www.ircrating.org

11:08 AM Wed 18 Mar 2009 GMT
The Royal Ocean Racing Club and the Union National pour la Course au Large, joint owners of the IRC Rule, have given IRC its very own website.

"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 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
