#icra – A root and branch review of the Commodore's Cup competition will examine all aspects of the the regatta including future boat types, team formats, event format, and professional sailor participation.
Organisers, the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC), have offered Irish sailors the opportunity to submit feedback through the Irish Cruiser Racing Association (ICRA).
Ireland won the 2010 event but did not defend the biennial title last August when they could not muster a three boat team.
RORC are keen on getting maximum participation for future events. Ireland won the 2010 event but did not defend the title last August.
'RORC are taking the view of starting with a clean sheet and are open to ideas as to how best to maintain and grow the attraction' says ICRA Commodore Barry Rose.
There is time pressure as the next RORC meeting to discuss these issues takes place in two weeks so ICRA are seeking feedback in the next 10 days.
