Royal Cork Yacht Club will stage the 2023 2023 Quarter Ton Cup in Cork Harbour from July 13-15th, and plans are afoot to make it 'the Quarter Ton sailing event of the decade'.
News of the Cup coming to the Irish south coast from the Solent (for the first time since the Cup was resurrected 17 years ago) has been circulating for several weeks, but the event was confirmed on social media this weekend.
The Quarter Ton Cup is awarded to the winners of the World Quarter Ton class championships between 1968 and 1997 and for the Quarter Ton Classic Revival from 2005 to the present. The fleet's main centre is on the Solent.
The event will be held on Thursday, 13th, Friday, 14th and Saturday, 15th of July 2023, hosted by RCYC.
The event could also present an opportunity for other Irish sailing events as potential Quarter Ton Cup warm-ups, such as the Sovereign's Cup in Kinsale from June 21-24 and Dun Laoghaire's Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta on Dublin Bay from July 6-9.
