IRC in Canada US-IRC has generously provided access to their 2009 edition of the US-IRC Handbook. John G. Brim, president of US-IRC states: “As you may know, IRC is relatively new in the US, and we are pleased with its rapid growth in recent years. Our Handbook covers some of the issues and opportunities we face here with IRC, and I thought that you might like to see it. One of the advantages of IRC for US sailors is the ability to race against competitors from other countries, as is happening right now at Key West. We hope that over time there will be more international handicap racing under IRC involving US boats, and we look forward to meeting you and other international IRC sailors.” The 2009 edition of the US-IRC Handbook may be found here: www.us-irc.org/pdf/2009_usirc_handbook.pdf.
