IRC RACE MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES
Help for Clubs running IRC racing
At the simplest level, all a Race Committee need say in its sailing instructions is: "The IRC Rules , Parts 1, 2, and 3 (or 5) shall apply". At the end of the race they then calculate each yacht's corrected time (CT) to the nearest second by multiplying her elapsed time (ET) by her TCC (CT=ET*TCC) and publish a set of results with the lowest corrected time winning. In many circumstances, this will suffice. There are however other related issues which a race organiser might wish to consider and to include as appropriate, these are outlined and described in the IRC Race Management Guidelines (2007) booklet (PDF file). If you would like us to post you a free copy of the booklet rather than download it, please e-mail info@rorcrating.com
