A fleet of 50 cruisers sailed in the 'Summer Madness' festival at Royal Cork last night. The large gathering included a white sail fleet competing in the Union Chandlery /Masts and Rigging league. The fleet raced for the added bonus of of a dinghy as first prize donated by local firm HM Yachts. An outboard engine from Marine Motors was also up for grabs. The Royal Cork club house now has a lighted patio area, the venue for last night's apres sail fun.
