IRC
Twelve owners of IRC-rated racing sailboats and four advisors have formed a new group called Sound IRC. The group is seeking to improve both the quality of IRC sailboat racing on Western Long Island Sound and also to increase participation. Sound IRC is coordinating among racing sailboat owners and sailors, the YRA of LIS (YRALIS), Race Committees of YRA member yacht clubs, and the national IRC authority (US-IRC). We look forward to:
• helping local owners obtain a Standard or Endorsed IRC certificate
• establishing Classes for the approximately 125 local boats already racing IRC locally
-
•working with our local Race Committees to introduce IRC-friendly Courses to existing regattas
-
•fostering close competition and camaraderie!
