Handicap Systems

Our Cruiser/Racing classes are sailed throughout the season under IRC and YTC handicap systems.

RYA YTC Handicap System - New

The RYA YTC powered by the RORC Rating Office is a free rating system to promote participation in racing cruiser-racing. The system was taken on by the RYA in 2022 after a decade of it being run in the south west by its creators (swytc) with the objective to provide a simple rating assessment so that skippers of any skill level may feel encouraged to race their boats in one off races, club series or even port regattas.
