AERA YTC by RORC
AERA YTC powered by the RORC Rating Office and the RYA is an initiative to promote club level participation in racing by cruising yachts and cruiser-racers. The objective is to provide a simple rating assessment so that skippers of any skill level may feel encouraged to race their boats in club events and port regattas. AERA YTC has a proven ability to provide closely competitive racing for a wide variety of yachts. AERA YTC is supported by the RYA (the UK sports governing body) and uses the experience of the RORC Rating Office to administer the system.
You can find out more information and apply for a free Aera YTC certificate Here
