A preliminary list of cruiser racing events on the Cork coastline lists the Kinsale YC Spring Series set for an Easter Monday start, April 1.
At the RCYC in Crosshaven, evening racing is set for a start on Thursday, May 2.
The Kinsale series will continue on Sundays, April 7, 14, and 21 and conclude on Saturday, April 27.
At the RCYC, May 2 will start the Thursday Night Leagues for cruisers throughout the summer – spinnakers and whitesails - with Friday night league racing for Whitesails only, beginning the following evening, May 3. A Sunday offshore series is scheduled to start on Sunday, May 26.
A ‘Keelboat Forum’ for RCYC members is to be held on Saturday, March 9, from 3-4.30 p.m. at the RCYC, and an online survey of sailors’ attitudes to racing is underway.
Initial, tentative contacts are understood to be being made between Cork Harbour clubs about the possibility of resuming combined clubs racing on Friday nights. This had been held for a number of years but ceased when Covid restrictions impacted events.
