After many years as a Class Association within the IRSA, the TenRater (ITCA) class is now fully operational as an International Class Association.

The last part was the separation and agreement with the IRSA on an Associate Membership. This gives the new association the ability to now determine its own future including the development and promotion of international events like Regional and World Championships.

Registration is done the official seat of the association will be

International TenRater Class Association
House of Sports
Talgut Center 27
CH-3063 Ittigen

we go now the next step to become Associate Members of the IRSA and take over the full role as International Class Association

After some delay regarding the COVID Situation the EC restarted working on the Foundation of the Class Association.


Attached the Constitution of the new Class Association which will go now to register the class in Switzerland.

ITCA Constitution

At the 2016 World Championships at Lake Garda, Italy, several interested groups worked on the founding and development of an International Class Association. This has taken some time to reach this point, but over the last few months great progress has been made with the help of key individuals to finish the development of the ITCA.

This involved the writing of an international standard Constitution to guide future executive committees and the development of a realistic schedule to turn a strong desire for an association into reality over the next 12 months.

The Schedule of Events

Dec 2019: Establishment of the Foundation Executive to oversee the next 12 months in preparation for the General Assembly and to assist the 2020 WC organisation in West Kirby.
