IRC vs ORCwhere the two rules disagree

Every boat holding both ratings, two independent measurement rules assessing the same hull. The line is this fleet's trend; boats off it are the ones the rules disagree about. Hover for the size of the disagreement; click a dot to add the boat.

Relative to this fleet, IRC rates PRETTY WOMAN about 50 s/hr slower than ORC does. A rating difference, not a speed difference - worth knowing when the same fleet scores under both rules.

All figures come from each boat's public ORC certificate or IRC published boat data (IRC TCCs from club records); speeds are the ORC certificate VPP's predictions, not observed results. Measurements move together with boat size, so no single number explains a rating. The fairest comparisons are between boats of similar size or within one design classes.
