The class bands and fleets are now finalised for the ICRA Nationals which take place as part of Volvo Cork Week this year.
With the fleet split across Classes 0,1,2,3 along with Non Spinnaker and Coastal, ICRA trophies and more will be up for grabs for the winners.
The Nationals, like the Round Ireland, are a Category 1 ICRA event and therefore carry a double weighting towards the ICRA Boat Of The Year gong.
The full lists of entries can be found on the Cork Week website, and the class bands are as follows:
- IRC 0 - 1.126 & above
- IRC 1 - 1.025 to 1.125
- IRC 2 - 0.935 to 1.024
- IRC 3 - less than 0.935
- Coastal - 0.950 & above
- Non Spinnaker 1 - 0.950 & above
- Non Spinnaker 2 - less than 0.949
- Beaufort Cup - All eligible yachts
- Classic Inshore - All eligible yachts
- Classics/Go To Cork - All eligible yachts
As previously reported on Afloat.ie, a number of feeder races will lead into this year’s ICRA Nationals, including the Falmouth to Cork Race from 7 July in which the Prince of Wales 300th Anniversary Trophy will be contested for the first time.
