Commodore's Cup, Cork Week and Boat of the Year

2nd November 2009

On Afloat’s Irish boating forum this week: Next year's Commodore’s Cup team formation is generating plenty of comment – Sailorlad is afraid it might just be a case of ‘showing up’ rather than really competing, while Claire says that Blondie, being at the lower end of the big boat category, is in the perfect place as, with an age allowance next year and, if necessary, a little tweak of sail wardrobe, she'll be back at the top end of the middle boat group. The status of professionals at Cork Week is discussed by Skipper. And Sailorlad wants to know will Cork October League winner Blondie make ICRA's boat of the year shortlist?
