Royal Cork's Daragh Connolly is the new SCORA Commodore annual after his election at an online AGM held via Zoom on Thursday 18th February.
The large online attendance includes members of the Royal Cork, Cove, Monkstown, Kinsale, Dunmore East, and Schull Harbour.
Outgoing Commodore Johanna Murphy opened the meeting with a brief report on the seasons restricted sailing activities, highlighting the successful running of the Fastnet 450 pop-up offshore race with the cooperation of the National Yacht Club and the Royal Cork.
Daragh Connolly of the RCYC was confirmed as the incoming commodore for a two-year period and laid out a proposed framework of activities, subject to government regulations, that included races to Dunmore East, Glandore and Schull, together with further promotion of the combined Cork Harbour combined leagues, and an online series to encourage newcomers to the offshore sailing scene.
The remainder of the executive committee was confirmed, with David Cullinane of Kinsale filling the Vice Commodore role, while Chris Granby of Monkstown takes over as Sailing Secretary and Michael Murphy of Schull continues as Financial Officer.
It is intended to co-opt additional representatives from the remaining South Coast Clubs.
