The MyIRC online application portal is open for IRC 2024 and you are invited to apply for your rating certificate for the new racing season.


Please read the information below before applying for your certificate to ensure that you are aware of rule changes and that the IRC rating accurately reflects your boat's configuration.

Do you hold a Secondary (SEC) certificate for your boat?


If so, please add this to your MyIRC account as a separate boat. This then allows you to revalidate the SEC certificate and apply for amendments or trials for it during the year. If you have any problems adding it, please contact the Rating Office.


Number of headsails


For 2024 you MUST declare the number of headsails you carry on board for racing. This includes staysails. Exclude 1 x OSR Heavy Weather Jib and/or 1 x OSR Storm Jib. See IRC rule 21.7.1.


If only 1 headsail please also confirm whether it is eligible as a single furling headsail (the default will be No).


Please enter this information on the Mainsail & Headsail page. If you enter 1 headsail, the furling headsail will show at the bottom of the same page.

This wise advice from a member of GBR IRC Committee is worth repeating:

"Economical or free ways to improve your rating: Clean hulls, getting the crew to build polars, calibrate instruments, relearn basics, batten tension, crew position, backing down for weed, practise, practise, practise. Do these easy, cheap things, and make sure you have fun!"
