Welcome to the new RORC Rating Office website!

We hope you like the new look for our website!     Apart from the visual change, the main difference you will notice is that under the IRC section, there is a lot less information; this is because RORC & UNCL have just launched a brand new, dedicated IRC website at www.ircrating.org; there are more details about this below.  

www.rorcrating.com now becomes dedicated to those boats that are based in Great Britain and the Channel Islands, so only includes those items that are specific to those boats, eg. rating application forms, fees, sail numbers, etc.   In effect it becomes the site of the GBR Rule Authority. 

All general IRC information such as Rule texts, race organiser information and Rule authority contact details, have been transferred to the new IRC site....... 

We have noted that a significant number of Notices of Race invoke IRC by simply requiring a ‘valid IRC certificate'. With an increasing number of boats now travelling around the world to regattas, this has created problems where a boat from the southern hemisphere (whose certificate remains valid in her own country until May of the following year) attends a northern hemisphere regatta in the first 5 months of a year. A similar issue can arise when a ‘north' boat travels to an event in a ‘south' country.

The 2009 IRC Yearbook is now available online, free, in an electronic format. This format allows you to bookmark and annotate pages as you prefer.
