  • IRC Annual Report
    IRC Rating System - 2020 Annual Report to IRC Congress and World Sailing 1. IRC OVERVIEW The IRC Rating System is managed by the IRC Rating Authority (RORC Rating Office & UNCL Centre de Calcul) and further administered by 42 additional rule authorities worldwide, on seven Continents, making it the most widely used Rating System available, with IRC certificates issued in 44 countries . IRC Numbers Joint figures from RORC and UNCL show that at the end of August the overall total boats rated is 2800 which is a reduction of 38% (1697 boats) from the end of August 2019. The RORC Rating Office has rated 1833 boats (new applications, revalidations, single event ratings (SERs)) to the end of August, a reduction of 36% (1028 boats) from the end of August 2019. UNCL rated 963 boats, a reduction of 41% (673 boats) from the end of August 2019. The Coronavirus situation has decimated the early 2020 sailing season Worldwide and this is reflected in the IRC rated boat numbers for 2020. Encouragingly, the early indication for figures in September are showing significantly more activity than normal for that time of year due to events that have been postponed and moved later in the year. There is an expectation that some of the numbers will recover but not expected to be back to the regular number of annual rated boats. 2. EVENTS AND CLASSES IRC remains the principal International Rating System for a long list of events around the world, with the offshore classics, including among others the RORC Transatlantic Race, Rolex Fastnet Race, Rolex Sydney Hobart Race, Rolex Middle Sea Race, RORC Caribbean 600, Rolex Giraglia Race, Spi Ouest France, SNIM and the Voiles de Saint-Tropez using IRC as the rating system for the principal trophies.

  • Press Release Rolex Fastnet Race: Skipper Alex Thomson and Co
    Press Release Rolex Fastnet Race: skipper Alex Thomson and co-skipper Ollie Heer to set sail aboard the HUGO BOSS yacht Metzingen/Cowes, August 6, 2021. This Sunday, the Alex Thomson Racing team returns to competitive racing as the Rolex Fastnet Race begins. On the HUGO BOSS yacht, skipper Alex Thomson and co-skipper Ollie Heer will set sail from the Isle of Wight, on the grueling 695-nautical-mile race. The 49th edition of the world’s largest offshore race has attracted one of the biggest fleets in its 96-year history. More than 350 boats across multiple classes are taking part, sailing via the Fastnet Rock off south-west Ireland towards a brand-new finish line in Cherbourg, France – a route that Alex believes will add “a new tactical dimension to the race.” The race marks a return to the water for the IMOCA 60 yacht, some eight months after being forced to retire from the Vendée Globe 2020 due to damage to the starboard rudder of the boat. Fully inspected, serviced, and with two new rudders installed, the boat returned to the water in May, with the team now excited to get back to competitive racing after successful training in recent weeks. Speaking about the race, Alex Thomson said, “I am really looking forward to being back racing and lining up against a strong IMOCA fleet on the start line of this year’s Rolex Fastnet Race. The HUGO BOSS yacht is in fantastic shape following repairs we made earlier this year, and we have spent the last few months training and testing in the Solent.

  • The Newport Bermuda Race Race Description by Sheila Mccurdy
    The Newport Bermuda Race Race Description By Sheila McCurdy The Newport Bermuda Race is a 635-mile ocean race, most of it out of sight of land, usually lasting three to six days. It crosses a stretch of the Atlantic Ocean known for challenging weather, especially in the Gulf Stream, where there are strong currents. Every two years in mid-June, over 180 boats start from the historic seaport of Newport, Rhode Island. The fleet has five divisions to allow seaworthy boats of many sizes and types to be raced fairly and aggressively for an array of trophies awarded in Bermuda at an elegant ceremony at Government House, the residence of the governor of this tropical island. In keeping with the 100-year traditions of amateur sailors and strong family spirit, 90 % of the boats in 2006 had amateur crews comprised of friends and family members. The race maintains its international prestige through competitive fairness, an exemplary safety record, and a responsive race organization handled by the volunteer members of the Cruising Club of America and the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club. Sailors everywhere dream of adding the Newport Bermuda Race to their life list of adventures. Newport Bermuda 2008 The 2008 fleet – expected to be over 200 boats – will cross the startling line off Newport, Rhode Island on Friday, June 20. The Bermuda Race Organizing Committee (BROC) begins its work over a year beforehand to plan a first-class ocean race. The skippers also have much to do through the winter and spring before the start to prepare their boats.

    Press Kit The Mission Our project has three main pillars, sailing science and education. Team Malizia was founded by Monegasque Pierre Casiraghi and German skipper Boris Herrmann in 2016 with the aim for Boris to perform at the highest level in the Vendee Globe 2020 race solo around the world. Beside the sporting aim, we have a strong message around climate change and ocean protection. Our ocean educators created a kids kit in 6 languages to educate kids around the world about what is happening in our oceans. We have partnerships with leading scientific bodies in order to further research on ocean Co2 and we carry an onboard ocean laboratory to measure valuable ocean data. In 2019 we hit world news by sailing Greta Thunberg emission free across the Atlantic to the UN Climate Action Conference. www.myoceanchallenge.org BORIS HERRMANN PIERRE CASIRAGHI The Skipper 39 year old Boris Herrmann has been dreaming of this challenge his whole life and on the 8th November 2020 he will become the first German to compete in the Vendee Globe. Born in Germany but raised on the water, Boris spent much of his life sailing with his family and took every free moment to sail or compete. Boris completed his first mini transit at 18 but rather than only pursue a career in sailing, he took the time to study and he obtained a Business MBA. Boris’ passion for sailing created his passion for the ocean which led to his desire to create The Ocean Challenge - to bring the oceans to the schools and to sensitise children to protect the ocean.
