The start of Volvo Cork Week 2024 is now less than six weeks away, with five days of racing in Cork Harbour and beyond set for 15-19 July.

Organisers at the Royal Cork Yacht Club say entry numbers have been steadily climbing, with entries and expressions of interest from as far afield as Turkey, Hong Kong and the USA.

As previously reported on Afloat.ie, an unforgettable week of sailing competition and festivities is promised.

The battles on the water will be fierce, with a contingent of Welsh J109s coming to take on their Irish counterparts and reigning ICRA Boat Of The Year Swuzzlebubble in the Half Tonners mix with the recently refurbished 2 Farr.

And that’s not to mention the 1720 European Championships and the renowned Beaufort Cup.

The Notice of Race can be found on the Cork Week website, which also has details of accommodation for anyone who has not yet made arrangements — time is of the essence!
