Entry is open for 2022 Volvo Cork Week, celebrating the tricentenary of the world's oldest yacht club, the Royal Cork YC. Since 1978, Cork Week has been the venue for many epic battles on the water and legendary craic ashore. The 300th birthday celebrations for the Royal Cork adds a unique dimension.
Cork300, a collection of events marking the tricentenary, was due to take place in 2020. Due to the pandemic, the Tricentenary celebrations have been extended and organisers look forward to welcoming visitors from all around the world to celebrate the founding of the oldest yacht club in the world.
Volvo Cork Week features up to five days of world class racing. Over 60 boats have already signed up and the Royal Cork Yacht Club is preparing for over a thousand sailors from around the world to take part. All boats already entered, and who enter before Easter Sunday, will be in with a chance of winning a maximum of eight branded crew jackets from Musto.
