Istanbul



 The annual IRC Owners' Congress was held in Istanbul this year and was preceded by a two day measurers' seminar. The venue was a hotel next to the Ortakoy mosque and the suspension bridge linking Europe with Asia. These are some photos taken from the glass walled conference room looking out over the Bosphorus.

Although we had no time for sightseeing as such, we had an hour long bus ride each morning of the seminar, skirting the old city on our way out to a yacht club on the Sea of Marmara. On the final evening we were ferried down the Bosphourus and in to the Golden Horn where we had a delightful dinner in an amazing industrial museum surrounded by restored boats, classic cars, submarines, aircraft and assorted esoteric machinery.

The future of the IRC Rule is in good hands.
