I know there are a couple of JOG committee members around here, so hope they will be able to clarify a couple of questions for me.
From the website: JOG is a yacht club with a difference. Established in 1950 to allow smaller yachts to compete offshore, it organises highly competitive races for IRC rated yachts.
I can't find a definition of smaller yachts, so assume that it is purely based on IRC Rating, is this correct ?
In addition, the IRC classes are shown as
3 1.037 to 1.200 TCC.
4 0.990 to 1.036 TCC.
5 0.935 to 0.989 TCC.
6 0.934 TCC and below.
There are some pretty serious boats in the RORC Series class one with TCC's less than 1.200, which couldn't be considered as smaller yachts.
I feel like I must be missing something!
All clarification gratefully received.
