Spinnaker / White Sail ratings in IRC & YTC
Competitors participating in IRC and YTC races can select either a "spinnaker" or "white sail" rating for each series by providing prior notification. However, changes between these ratings are not permitted during a series. The Race Management team typically uses the "spinnaker" handicap as the default, applying the "white sail" rating only if a formal request is made and received at least 7 days before the series' first race. It's important to note that opting for the "white sail" rating in the TEK Early or Late Series, or the Spring Series, could result in your boat being reclassified from IRC1 to IRC2, or YTC1 to YTC3.

YTC Handicaps Required for Cruiser Racers
Starting from the Spring Series on April 2nd, 2024, all cruiser racers not competing in IRC or one-design classes must obtain a YTC handicap. Last year's "Lymington Adjusted" handicap, formerly known as NHC, will still apply, but YTC ratings will now be the standard base rating for each boat.
To race in this class, ensure you obtain a YTC rating for your boat before the event. The YTC application is simple and can be done online, with all necessary measured data readily available. Download the tools below to guide you through the application process.

“Great night last night in particular the junior supper was a huge hit. Lots of great feedback on the lasagna, a good-sized portion, tasted delicious and well presented. Please can you pass on to the chef and his team!”
“On 3rd August we held our Red Fox Annual General Meeting and Annual Dinner at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club. The whole event was a great success. Within days of appointing a new chef you produced an excellent menu for the dinner and arranged facilities for our AGM. You and your staff were always very efficient and friendly, and it all made for a very enjoyable evening. We showed our appreciation by doubling the normal gratuity.”
“We had an excellent Sunday lunch. Please warmly congratulate Darren, your new chef!”
“On behalf of myself and my family, we just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone involved in my father’s wake on Friday. It was utterly perfect, and I truly think he would have loved it. Please pass on our thanks to the lovely staff and yourself who made it run so smoothly. The weather was simply stunning, and the drinks went down a little too nicely!”
“The Burns Night was brilliant! Many thanks to yourself and the team for doing a huge amount of work to make it a great success! Everything was perfect!”
“I thought I would drop you a line to say 4 of us had very delicious sandwiches at the Club on Friday lunchtime. They were perfect for what we required – having popped into the Club for a glass of wine and a quick bite to eat.”
