Where I am at, Puget Sound region of Wa St USA, the PHRF rating currently rules if you will. But there is some attempt to go IRC also. I understand for the most part PHRF ratings and how it works. Is their a website that expains how one races against IRC rated boats?
Surfing the web the otherday, my Arcadia from one boat I found by accident in Emgland has an IRC of about .8725 IIRC. PHRF std is 165. So in PHRF, if I race a boat with a 100 rating which is faster , I get an additional 65 sec per mile to finish, so a 10 mile race if I finish with in 650 sec, or 11 min, I more or less in real simple terms beat that boat.
So how am I scored against a boat with a 1.0 IRC being as that the bigger the number the faster it is. Am I considered to be ~13% slower? So I would need to finish within 13% of his time......
This is a I do not understand this rating rules, so explain or tell me how to find the answer please question.

Tim,
Took a bit if wondering, but did find a page the defines the timing part. It does to a degree seem pretty simaler to PHRF, but in "secs per hr" vs "secs per mile"
Will have to look there a bit more to see the overall differences etc. It overall does not seem like too bad of a rating rule. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts, with out going to the dumps, like IOR among the ones I grew up with.
