(Cowes, Isle of Wight, England)- From modern lightweight planing yachts to evergreen designs of the 1970s and 80s, the IRC rule brings them all together for three days of intense racing. With courses varying from windward-leewards to round-the-cans and the possibility of reaching or downwind starts, any boat can have its day. Of course, that all depends on the wind direction, courses, currents, and wind angles- especially on the Solent. A biased upwind course versus a biased all downwind course, a notable problem on the infamous Solent.Sailing in IRC 2 Class will be Chris Daniel’s J/122E JUNO and Stuart Sawyer’s J/122 BLACK DOG.
The IRC 3 Class will see a duel between a trio of J/112E’s, including James Chalmer’s HAPPY DAIZE, David Franks’ LEON, and Bruce Huber’s XANABOO.
The IRC 4 Class may be the province of the J/109s, like Phil Warwick’s RNSA JOLLY JACK TAR and Chris Preston’s JUBILEE. However, watch out for the sleeper in the class, Nick & Adam Munday’s J/97 INDULJENCE. For more RORC IRC National Championship sailing informationAdd to Flipboard Magazine.
