0 53 for the RORC IRC National Championship

23-25th June 2017, Cowes Racing gets under way this Friday on the Solent for the cream of the British keelboat fleet at the Royal Ocean Racing Club's IRC Nationals. The rating rule will create a level playing field between the 53 boats entered ranging from the fastest, the Ker 46 Lady Mariposa, to the slowest, the two Quarter Tonners. In between it must cope with planing machines such as the eight FAST40s or Jamie Rankin's Farr 280, Pandemonium, to the Quarter and Half Tonners originally designed to the IOR rule to Giovanni Belgrano's 1939 Laurent Giles classic, Whooper. Three 46 footers are competing. In addition to Lady Mariposa is Colin Campbell's Azuree 46 Eclectic, theoretically slowest of the trio. In between is the Marc Lombard-designed Pata Negra, chartered for the summer by the Dutch de Graaf family, who previously campaigned the Ker 40, Baraka GP. In IRC One they will also face their old foe, Andy Williams' Ker 40 Keronimo, and Tor McLaren's MAT 1180, Gallivanter. There will also be a trio of J/111s, Simon Bamford's Kestrel, Paul Griffiths' Jagerbomb and Cornel Riklin's Jitterbug. A favourite for this year's title is former RORC Commodore Mike Greville and his trusty Ker 39, Erivale, having come so close to winning last year. Among the eight FAST 40+s all eyes will be on the latest generation Carkeek design, Girls on Film of 2016 class winner Peter Morton. With a modified cockpit layout compared to her predecessor (now Bastiaan Voogd's Hitchhiker), the IRC Nationals will be her first competitive outing having freshly arrived from her builder in Dubai. IRC Two will see a dust up between five First 40s, including La Reponse of RORC Admiral Andrew McIrvine, who memorably scored three straight bullets on the final day of the IRC Nationals. On that occasion he was beaten to the class win by Adam Gosling's JPK 1080+ Yes!, ultimately crowned joint IRC National Champion. Yes! will return to defend her title. IRC Three includes regular campaigners such as Harry Heijst's S&S 41 classic, Winsome, Mike Moxley's HOD35 Malice and Mike Bridges' Elan 37 Elaine. Alongside Quarter Tonners, Berry Aarts' Wings and Tom Hill's Belinda, Phil Plumtree's Half Tonner, Swuzzlebubble, and Whooper, one of the lowest rated is the Poole-based MG 346, MS Amlin Enigma of Ian Braham. Racing at the RORC IRC Nationals takes place over 23-25th June with a first warning signal each day at 1050 BST. More info on MAT Yachts

Farr 50 ex-Jamarella British Admirals Cup Team 1989 The 1989 champion Admiral's Cup yacht, the Farr IOR 50 Jamarella (Farr design #213), has recently been listed for sale via Bach Yachting. Jamarella was English yachtsman Alan Gray's second yacht of that name, and followed his successful One Tonner that finished as second yacht overall in the 1987 Admiral's Cup. Gray had built the new Jamarella expressly to try out the new World Cup circuit established for the Fifties, and because he felt that the TMF changes could produce a 50-footer that was not just a useful Admiral's Cup team yacht, but a potential series top scorer.The design for Jamarella was slightly altered from her circuit-racing sisterships Carat VII and Windquest, with rig and keel modifications to orient the boat for ocean racing courses and to suit the slightly lower maximum rating limit of the Admiral's Cup. She was built in carbon/epoxy/PVC foam and Nomex sandwich by Thompson boatbuilders, and was helmed by Gordon Maguire and Lawrie Smith. She sported Diamond sails on a Sparcraft mast, a common and fast combination at that time.Gray's instinct was confirmed and his professionally-run campaign was rewarded as Jamarella spearheaded the dominance of the Fifties in the 1989 series, with the new breed of these Admiral's Cup 'maxis' taking line and handicap wins in five of the six races, and taking four of the top five places overall. Jamarella led the charge for the British team with a superbly consistent 1/3/2/3/2/4 series that made her top individual performer in the 42-boat fleet (from 14 nations), and led Britain to its first Cup win since 1981. The British team was sponsored by The Observer and The Glenlivet, and the team sought to play their part by carrying their logos on their hulls. The first attempt at placing the decals on the hull of Jamarella was, at the last minute, identified as being too far aft to comply with the tight regulations that were then in force. Leaving nothing to chance, the letters behind the line 18ft from the transom, were removed to be replaced in a compliant mid-ship position after the first race  After the 1989 Admiral’s Cup the Fifties gathered again in Newport Rhode Island for the sixth and final event in the 1989 World Cup. Jamarella was shipped over from England and finished third. Jamarella is now based in the Netherlands -  Farr 50 lowered in asking price to 49.000 euro.

This Rodman 42 is a silver-hulled race yacht, designed by Judel & Vrolijk, built in 2003 by Rodman in Spain and acquired by the present owner in July 2011. After racing in RORC races for 3 seasons (3rd IRC1 season 2012, 1st IRC1 North Sea Race 2012, 4th IRC1 season 2014, 2nd IRC1/6th overall Round Ireland 2014), the boat was moved to the Mediterranean in 2015. Since then the team took part in many of the major Med offshore events including the Giraglia. The most recent was the Thousand Islands Race in Croatia, Sep 18th-25th 2016, from Rijeka to Montenegro and back. In the combined results for both legs the team came first overall and first in class (ORC2). The Rodman JV42 was originally aimed at racing under IMS and this design together with the Sinergia 40 and Grand Soleil 42R were the most competitive models while the IMS rule was in use, dominating the IMS600 class. This Rodman, while racing with its former owner, did very well under the ORC rule. Several modifications have been made to the boat since it was first launched. Most importantly, the original keel has been replaced with a fin-and-bulb keel. It was designed by JV and fitted by Knierim; the actual construction was by Schumacher Metall. The mast and rig have also been modified by lengthening the spreaders and moving the chainplates outboard. In March 2012 a carbon bow sprit was fitted as part of the new sailplan which now includes fractional and masthead sails The boat is fitted out to OSR Cat 2. Anti-fouling is Veneziani Speedy Carbonium, excellent and expensive, still in good condition New folding propeller fitted 2015 (2 blade) TCC 1.128GPH 563.8 She is on the hard for inspection. You are very welcome to come and visit her. Lowered in asking price to 59.999 euro

Gerry Hatton’s MAT1245 Bushranger won both the IRC and ORCi Rating Divisions at the Australian Yachting Championships in Sydney, Australia to wrap up a coveted double. Counting nothing but firsts and seconds under both scoring systems in an event that started in big southerly breezes and ended with light easterlies, Bushranger proved the versatility of the MAT1245 design and the tenacity of the long-established Bushranger team, now on their third boat of that name. The Hattons are very enthusiastic about the boat “Thanks for designing such an amazing boat. The MAT 12.45 is not only a beautiful boat to sail, but it rates incredibly well too .“ The Australian Yachting Championships are following a growing trend worldwide to combine racing under both IRC and ORCi,and embrace a wider variety of course types, in this case including two days of coastal courses outside the Sydney Heads.
