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.
