"How do I get a rating for this year, or next year?"
The notes below explain for those in GBR and Irish waters. Those outside this area should contact their local representative for IRC and SBR ratings. If there is no local representative for your area, correspondence will be directly to/from us. If you are overseas and interested in IRM please contact us in the first instance using the Enquiry Form.
All rating certificates (except in Australia & South Africa) are valid until 31st December of the year of issue. Ratings therefore need to be renewed ("revalidated") each year if you wish to race. This can be done at any time of year, but please allow enough time before your race to avoid disappointment.
New applications
If you have a completed new application form you may send this to us at any time. Please include your fee with the application, remember that VAT at 17.5% must be added if payment is being made by a UK company or association of any kind. We offer reduced rates from the end of October.
If you want to apply for a rating for next year please note that the IRC application form will be changed slightly for next season, the new version of the form will be available on this website later in the year, together with the new fees etc.
Revalidations (renewal) for next year.
An IRC yearbook for the new season will be sent to every owner who holds a current IRC certificate, together with a separate form inviting you to revalidate the certificate for next year. These are sent out during the first week of January (to avoid the Christmas post!). PLEASE NOTE ! the revalidation form will be loose in the envelope with the address showing in the window - please don't throw it away with the envelope !
Any change of address or ownership not advised to us before 6th December may not be taken into account. If we have to send out a duplicate book and form (if your mail is not being forwarded) we may make a charge of £5.00.
Revalidation forms will be sent for Sportsboat Rule and IRM certificates in a similar way, but not necessarily at the same time.
If your boat held an IRC or SBR rating certificate which has lapsed, and you want to renew it, please contact us so that we can send you the appropriate form.
Trial certificates
We regret that we cannot run IRC or SBR trial certificates on the new programs until the boat holds a valid current certificate. If you apply for a trial certificate at the same time as revalidating or applying for the first time, we will run it at the same time.
