Monaco Yacht Club was home to twelve international optimist dinghy teams last weekend, with both the Royal Cork and Ireland being well represented by four of our optimist sailors. The three day event was formally opened last Friday when HSH Princess Charlene of Monaco made a special visit to the yacht club to encourage all the teams on the opening day. Racing commenced soon after in light airs where the format was round robin to ensure that each team raced against all other teams. Racing was tight with a total of forty two races sailed throughout the three days. By Saturday evening the top four teams at that point in the competition qualified for the [...]

Round Ireland Race 2012
2012 will mark the 32nd anniversary of Ireland’s premier off-shore sailing event, organised by Wicklow Sailing Club in association with RORC. For the first time the Biennial Round Ireland Race appears on the 2012 calendar of Royal Ocean Racing Club events (RORC). This is a huge boost for Wicklow Sailing Club as results from this Irish 704 mile race will now enjoy the same status as the Round the Fastnet Race and will count for 1.5 points in the RORC season thus raising the attractiveness for skippers to enter. Wicklow’s Chairman of the event, Denis Noonan, is well chuffed with the news and expects a strong Irish turnout for the [...]
4 Royal Cork Youth Sailors Honoured by ISA
No fewer than four Royal Cork youth sailors have been nominated for the coveted title of Youth Sailor of the Year 2011. Sophie Browne, fresh from her outstanding exploits in finishing 2nd girl at the Optimist Worlds in New Zealand, is the only girl nominated. Patrick Crosbie finished 3rd in the Topper Worlds in Dun Laoghaire, Seafra Guilfoyle was 2nd under 16 at the Laser 4.7 Europeans and Peter McCann was 5th at the Optimist European Championships in Portugal. In any other year any of them would probably be awarded the title. The other nominee is Philp Doran of Courtown Sailing Club. The club can be justifiably proud of their [...]
