    September 2008 www.pryc.us COMMODORE’S COMMENTS Port Royal Hi folks! August flew by! What a month, we entertained Yacht Club Emma, Phoebe and Drake from Blue Sky along with their 555 N. Harbor Drive friends. The Toga Party was a blast; most members came Redondo Beach in costume and they were quite creative. And what about CA 90277 that PRYC Punch… Hey that got folks going. We had a 310-372-3960 great time down at Cabrillo Yacht Club thanks to Bruce and PRYC OFFICERS Tony on “Last Resort”. Bruce, once again, thanks for Commodore making the arrangements. Don & Cathy on “Bottom Time” Pat Paxson Vice Commodore along with Tammy on “Newfie’s Land” and Kevin powered down together. What a Shawn Milligan wonderful spread on the dock along with Cathy’s fresh catch of scallops which she sautéed for the group. For dinner we went up to the club and dined on the Rear Commodore Kevin Herink veranda. Cabrillo YC is beatiful and the people are quite friendly. I missed the Pot Luck Olympic Party, but have no regrets because I was in Secretary Avalon for the weekend and attended the Kenny Loggins concert. The man and Shelia Anderson his band put on a great show. This was the first time I was inside the Casino and Fleet Captain as I walked up the wide hall into the main ballroom and out to the balcony I felt like Carl Chiverton I went back into time. My yardsale buddy 85 year old Bonnie Peacock 85 told me Junior Staff Commodore some great stories about dancing to the orchestra on the Catalina Steamer and Penny Towne Vowles her adventures on the island when she was young.

  • 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.
