CD Environmental Calves Week Regatta 2023 at Schull in West Cork has welcomed the latest entry of the 1898-built Cork Harbour one design “Jap”, scheduled to compete in the August event.
Having spent over twenty years on the European classic boat circuit, the fully restored Jap will again lock horns with the slightly younger, 1902-built recently crowned classic boat of the year “Lady Min”.
Joining them in the White Sail class will be Niall McPhilips Etchells 22 special “Guapa”, which was also a Classic Boat winner in 2018.
With a substantial list of entries, particularly from south coast yacht clubs, the White Sail 2 class is expected to be the largest fleet in the event.
As entries continue to grow, the fleet is expected to be split into seven classes, ranging from Zero to White Sail 2, when they come to Race Officer Alan Crosbie’s starting line on Tuesday, August 8th.
