RS21 Charter Opportunities at Volvo Cork Week 2024

22nd May 2024

Volvo Cork Week will host a round of the RS21 UK & Ireland Cup in 2024 for the first time

Royal Cork Yacht Club (RCYC) has partnered with the Irish RS agent, the Irish National Sailing School (INSS) and RS Sailing to provide a special opportunity for those challenged by time or crew availability or find themselves otherwise unable to enter Cork Week in their own boat.

Volvo Cork Week will host a round of the RS21 UK & Ireland Cup in 2024 for the first time. This event is fully supported by the RS21 class, and race-prepared boats are available for charter.

Volvo Cork Week begins on Sunday, 14th, July, 2024, with racing beginning on Monday, 15th July.

The boats will be delivered to the RCYC and fully prepared for racing, launched and ready to race - so there is no need for time-consuming delivery trips. You just need to turn up with your crew, hoist the sails, and be prepared to have fun!

RS21 Charter schedule

The handover of charter boats will be on Saturday, July 13th, giving the crew two days to familiarise themselves with the boat before racing.

Representatives from INSS and RS Sailing will be on hand to offer advice on boat rigging, tuning, and handling on those training days and as required throughout the whole event. All charter boats will be handed back after sailing on Friday, July 19th.

The RS21 Class has, from the outset, enforced a strict One Design ethos, ensuring that all boats across the fleet are equal and compliant with class rules to ensure good racing. The charter boats and sails provided by the class have been lightly used and professionally maintained, offering good value for money and competition on a level playing field.

Charter bookings are live on the RS Club website here: RS21—Cork Week Charter Details. The cost is €2,500 per boat for a no-hassle, seven-day, ready-to-sail competitive package. Cork Week event entry is separate and includes five days of racing, crew entertainment, boat launch and recovery, marina berthage, and trailer storage.
