IRC certificates

Details: Last Updated: Thursday, 19 May 2016 08:41

A security date watermark will be printed across all valid Spinlock IRC certificates issued from 19 May 2016. This will make it quick and easy to identify a valid certificate (or copy certificate) issued by RORC or UNCL.

Current, valid certificates issued before 19 May 2016 are still valid and will not be reprinted.

Trial certificates will not include the watermark.

Increasing competition with dual scoring

The RORC Rating Office and the RYA have recenly completed a countrywide tour of yacht clubs and marinas where the discussion has been based around getting more people into our sport. All of us see marinas full of boats of which only a handful can be seen on the water in evening races and weekend events throughout the year. A large number of these boats rarely seem to leave the marinas, and many don’t join the local yacht club or use their facilities, simply finding a good local pub, or bar attached to the marina office instead. Many have also never given racing a try. So the purpose of the seminars has been to try and understand where these potential fellow competitors are, and why they aren’t coming out to play.
