2023 Calves Week at Schull Schull Harbour Sailing Club may limit entries to 70 boats for the West Cork regatta this August.
The four-day series of races commences on Tuesday, 8th August, and at least six classes are expected to compete, with a possible extra Class Zero and Class One split if required.
Commodore Mark Murphy told Afloat that following last year's jump in entries to near pre-Covid numbers, the club is considering a "cut-off point" of seventy boats "to ensure a safe environment in a harbour without marina facilities".
