IRC Handicap System

All of our Cruiser /Racing classes are sailed throughout the season under the above handicap system.
Boat owners are required to apply yearly for a current handicap rating certificate for their boat and provide a copy to RUYC in advance of racing.


Some clubs in Belfast Lough sail under a PY Handicap system which is maintained by
the Belfast Lough Yachting Conference.
