Cork Week Regatta at Royal Cork Yacht Club in Cork Harbour has received a 57 boat registration for its 2022 Regatta just a week after the booking system went live for its 300th-anniversary regatta rerun.
Royal Cork's Alex Barry says there is 'huge interest' with 30% of those are from the UK and interest registered from Spain, Germany, Hong Kong and France too.
As regular Afloat readers will know, Cork Week 2020 was one of the big COVID-19 casualties of Royal Cork's Tricentenary celebrations last year.
Barry says the 2022 fleet is showing great signs of diversity from a Gunboat 68 and Swan 62 to 2 x Fast 40s, 15 x 1720s.
In the IRC ratings, there are now "15 boats registered are over 1.000, seven boats under .900 and everything in between", he adds.
