IRC Rating
HKSF is the IRC Rule Authority of Hong Kong which undertakes the administration of IRC/SBR applications in Hong Kong. In accordance with IRC Rule 9.10: “Irrespective of where a boat is registered, she shall apply for her IRC certificates to the appointed IRC Rule Authority in the country in which she predominantly races. Exceptionally, with the agreement of the Rating Authority, she may apply through another Rule Authority.”
Since Hong Kong is operating on the Southern Hemisphere, validity of its IRC/SBR ratings runs from 1 June every year to 31 May of the following year.
