About the Business
The RORC Rating Office, based in Lymington in Hampshire, is owned by the Royal Ocean Racing Club that organises a full racing programme including the Rolex Fastnet Race. This is a small office offering a global service through a network of Rule Authorities (our agents) as well as personally to sailors mainly in the UK.
The Rating Office is involved in the technical aspects of yacht racing and since 1984 has developed a rating system program in cooperation with our partners in Paris, which is used in over 30 countries. The IRC rating system rates all types of yachts using their weight, measurements and other features so they can race fairly, competitively and as closely as possible, while keeping up to date with emerging designs and equipment.
For decades record-setting in sailing has been dominated by adventurers, pioneers, eccentrics and, in recent years, pro-sailing teams in custom built machines.
The new season has got off to a positive start with applications coming in for 2021 IRC rating certificates and a steady stream of enquiries to the RORC Rating Office, the technical hub of the Royal Ocean Racing Club. There was a record flood of entries for the RORC’s flagship event, the Rolex Fastnet Race, when entries opened last week, as well as enthusiasm from club racers around the UK and overseas.
