Irish Sailing Measurers ‘Refresher’ Course
The Royal Irish Yacht Club was the venue last week for a ‘Refresher’ course aimed at current IRC measurers located across the country.
The course was delivered by Adam Parry, Technical Manager for the RYA , who kindly gave of his time and expertise over the course of the training.
The day consisted of a thorough run-through the theory aspect of measuring , followed by an afternoon session of practical sail measurement, highlighting the minimum standards that should be applied to ensure standardised accuracy and fairness.
Special Thanks to Liz Hall from the Irish Sailing team for organising the course and ensuring that the appropriate high standards are maintained by our very experienced IRC measurers in a continually evolving sport. Thanks also to the team at the Royal Irish for facilitating every aspect of the course.
