YOUR NEW IRC RATING: IMPORTANT!!!:

Your rating may go UP, DOWN, or stay the SAME from year to year, depending on how it is affected by program changes.  It will not automatically go down each year due to age allowance, although this is an integral part of the TCC calculation. Please remember that IRC is a live rule. By this we mean that the maths behind the calculation of TCC is continually adjusted on an annual basis to reflect changes in design, sailing practice, etc.  The changes affect generic types and characteristics, not individual boats or designs. 2009 IRC RULE CHANGES are minimal and outlined in the IRC Yearbook and on the this website.
