Michael O'Sullivan has been appointed Regatta Director for Kinsale Yacht Club's 2025 Sovereign's Cup, incorporating the ICRA National Championships.

O'Sullivan will oversee the event scheduled for June 25th to 28th.

"This appointment marks a significant step in ensuring the success of one of Kinsale's key sailing events", according to club Commodore Tony Scannell.

The regatta is expected to attract top sailors from Ireland and the UK, promising a competitive and exciting four days on the water.

As Afloat reported in February, up to 100 boats are expected to compete at the June championships, encompassing IRC boats in divisions Zero to Four, with White Sail fleet racing also included.

The ICRAs were most recently incorporated at the Sovereign's Cup in 2019 and 2015.

The 2025 edition of Kinsale Yacht Club's Sovereign's Cup and ICRA National Championships will be held from June 25-28, 2025.

The Irish event occurs a month before the resurrected Admiral's Cup takes place in Cowes, where Ireland is one of 11 countries that has registered an interest.
