The Royal Cork Yacht Club (RCYC) in Crosshaven, Cork Harbour has announced the suspension of all club activities until Sunday following the tragic drowning of Emili Roman at Fountainstown Beach on Tuesday evening.
The move was confirmed by Club Admiral Kieran O'Connell, who stated that the decision was made in consideration of the great sadness in the Crosshaven community at present. "Our sincere condolences go out to the Roman family and friends. May Emili rest in peace," he said.
Other clubs in the village have also taken the decision to suspend their activities.
However, the annual Cobh-Blackrock Race, which is an event run by Cove Sailing Club and takes place on Saturday, will not be affected by the suspension of club activities.
Admiral O'Connell clarified that the suspension of activities only pertains to RCYC-run events.
