Revving engines in Breskens: IRC Rating European Championship preview.
The seventh edition of the IRC European Championship will take place from Thursday to Sunday (25-28 August) in the Netherlands, as part of DAMEN Breskens Sailing Weekend.
39 yachts are entered, ranging from François Goubau’s Belgian Beneteau First 47.7 Moana to Alain Rousseau’s Dehler 29 Picsou. The fleet is divided into three classes: IRC One (TCC 1.050+), IRC Two (TCC 1.000-1.050) and IRC Three (TCC 0.900 to 1.000).
To ensure accuracy of the rating and fairness of the competition, entries must have an Endorsed IRC certificate. The event aims to promote diversity, with one extra crew permitted in addition to the number stated on a yacht’s IRC certificate, if at least two females or two youth (up to 25-years-old) sail on board.
