Royal Cork Yacht Club

The End of Season Cruising Muster will take place on Saturday 11th September 2010.  This year the muster will take place at the new marina pontoon at the Port Of Cork, where we will stay overnight and return downriver the following morning, Sunday 12th.

Ireland has done it. After mounting multiple teams, considered favourite going into both the 2006 and 2008 events but failing to win either, so the Irish boats Antix, marinerscove.ie and Roxy 6 today secured the Rolex Commodores’ Cup for  Ireland.

August 20, 2010 11.45pm. Update: There has been a points change on the leaderboard in the Provisional Results.  Roxy 6 has been given one point for race 6 and Rockall lll has been given two points,  This now means that Team Ireland has a  38 point lead on 63.5 with Team Hong Kong on 101.5.

Report 9.30pm: Now on 64.5 points to second placed Hong Kong’s 100.5, the Irish team’s position at the Rolex Commodores’ Cup is looking all but unassailable. With just one inshore race to go to-morrow, counting for double points, it would now take a major disaster in all three classes for the Irish to lose their grip of the trophy that has eluded them for so long.

A grim overcast start and lumpy wind against tide conditions gave way to brilliant sunshine and a summery finish off the Royal Yacht Squadron for the Rolex Trophy Day inshore race at the 2010 Rolex Commodores’ Cup.
