( Event sponsors correct at publication date). IRC is used for a huge number of races and regattas all over the world, and it would be impossible to list them all! As a taster, apart from local club races IRC is used at (among many others) well known events such as: Round the Island Race (UK), Cowes Week, Rolex Fastnet Race, Volvo Cork Week, RORC Caribbean 600, Voiles de St Tropez, Rolex Middle Sea Race, Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, Japan Cup, Hamilton Island Race Week, Rolex China Sea Race, Phuket KingвЂ™s Cup, Giraglia Rolex Cup, Spi Ouest France, Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup, Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta, Half Ton Classics Cup, Quarter Ton Cup, Marmaris Week, Australian Yachting Championships, RORC Transatlantic Race, Brisbane to Gladstone Race, IRC European Championship, Aegean 600, RORC Baltic 600, Australian Maxi Championship and various national championships. There is the option of an вЂEndorsedвЂ™ certificate, for which the data has been audited which may include official weighing and measurement. All an owner needs to do is fill in the application form and send it to us. IRC accepts owner declaration of a boatвЂ™s measurements. IRC is structured to be as simple as possible for both sailors and race administrators: there is no requirement for boats to be officially measured (unless required in individual countries). Everything from classics through IOR designs to modern cruisers, cruiser/racers, and racers. As a result, boats of all ages and types win races under IRC. This prevents designers taking advantage of the rule when designing new boats and very substantially increases the competitive lifetime of IRC rated boats. The methods and formulae used for the calculation of IRC TCCs are not published. IRC permits features such as asymmetric spinnakers, bowsprits, twin, triple, wing and dropВ keels, twin masts, gaff rigs,В water ballast, canting keels, вЂcode zeroвЂ™ headsails, lateral daggerboardsВ etc., and deals with these features as equitably as possible. It is open to all types, sizes and ages of boats. IRC is continually developed to encompass new developments in both cruisers and racers while at the same time protecting the interests of the bulk of the fleet. IRC is aimed at a very wide range of keelboats of all sizes and shapes including modern production cruisers and cruiser/racers through dedicated one-off race boats, older cruisers and racers to classic yachts and superyachts. IRC is for keelboats of all size and shapes The boat with the shortest corrected time is the winner of the race. The higher the TCC figure, the faster the boatвЂ™s potential speed IRC TCCs range from 0.750 to 2.000, with the majority of cruiser/racers between 0.900 and 1.100.ДЄfter a race, each boatвЂ™s elapsed time (the time she has taken to complete the course) is multiplied by her TCC to calculate her corrected time (her race time making allowance for the characteristics of the boat). The resulting time corrector, the boatвЂ™s вЂTCCвЂ™, is her handicap.

IRC is a rating rule to handicap different designs of keelboats allowing them to race together unlike a performance handicap a ratingВ is not altered between races according to the individual boatвЂ™s performance, but is based on the physical measurements of the boat.Д®ach boatвЂ™s rating (her вЂhandicapвЂ™) is calculated using measurements of the boat her length, weight, draft, rig size, sail area, and specific characteristics and features.
