In his latest video update, Royal Cork Yacht Club Admiral Colin Morehead hails the return of keelboat and junior racing at Crosshaven, not to mention the well-earned victory of Nieulargo in the Dun Laoghaire to Dingle Race.
This weekend the club is hosting the postponed 29er Nationals among a busy calendar of events that includes the Tricentenary At Home Regatta at the end of August.
Colin confirms that the parade of sail will go ahead on the morning of Saturday 28 August — with attendees including Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney — and he made a special request to club members: “If you have a boat, if it floats, get it in the water and make sure that it’s there.”
Also upcoming is the Cork300 cruise in company along the Wild Atlantic Way from new Saturday 10 July, which still space available for cruisers to join. Find out more on the RCYC website HERE.
And the Royal Cork will join with other Cork Harbour clubs to help the Naval Service celebrate its 75th anniversary in September. More details to come.
In the meantime, outdoor dining is in full swing at the clubhouse and Colin appeals to all to come down to the club and make the most of any fine weather.
