Issue date
This is a special early Regatta Ramblings to give you a ‘heads up’. 2017 Bay Regatta will be holding the IRC Nationals for the second year in a row, however this time there will be three divisions; IRC Class One for the 50 footers in A Division, IRC Class Two for B Division and for the first time, IRC Class Three for the smaller boats from D and E Divisions - they will be racing in IRC C Division – e.g. 1020s, MRX, Namu-type, or any boat that will fit into the smaller IRC bracket. If you’ve ever had an IRC Certificate in the past and choose to ‘dust it off’ to try an alternative to PHRF, BOI Sailing Week 2017 will be the time to do it. We will still be offering PHRF in all divisions A to E.
We have the privilege of receiving a special guest from England, James Dadd, Director of RORC Rating Office UK. James is making a brief visit to both New Zealand and Australia – to help and guide people with existing IRC Certificates along with those who would like to try IRC.
