Entry is open for 2022 Volvo Cork Week, celebrating the tricentenary of the world’s oldest yacht club, the Royal Cork Yacht Club.

Since 1978, Cork Week has been the venue for many epic battles on the water and legendary craic ashore. The 300th birthday celebrations for the Royal Cork add a unique dimension.

July's Volvo Cork Week features up to five days of world-class racing in Cork Harbour from 11-15th.

As Afloat previously reported, Cork Week has a huge diversity of competing boats, including inshore racing for keelboats for the ICRA Nationals, and one-design racing for the 1720 Europeans, the SB20 Grand Slam, Cape 31s, and the Dragon South Coasts.

Volvo Cork Week will feature a variety of courses both inside and outside the Harbour.

Over 60 boats have already signed up and the Royal Cork Yacht Club is preparing for over a thousand sailors from around the world to take part. All boats already entered, and who enter before Easter Sunday, will be in with a chance of winning a maximum of eight branded crew jackets from Musto.
