Best wishes for the new year from us all in the RORC Rating Office and YCF/UNCL Centre de Calcul. The IRC software has been updated and RORC and YCF are already issuing certificates for the 2024 season. One of the first major events on the IRC calendar, with owners keen to get their new ratings, is the RORC Caribbean 600 with a rating deadline of 12th February. Meanwhile, in the IRC ‘south’ countries such as Australia, UAE and SE Asia the racing is mid-season and will continue using 2023 ratings until the end of May.


Here is a reminder of some useful links to help you over the racing season whether you are a boat owner, race officer or measurer: IRC Rules & definitions, annual rule changes, notices & interpretations, policies & information,


and useful links: https://ircrating.org/irc-rule/ IRC measurement manual, sail check and area calculation form (new), sail sticker information (new), measurement guides and additional hull, rig and sails information:
