  • 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.
