Good to know
If you’d like to join the boat for the delivery sail to Cork (and back again) from the Solent then we’d be very welcome to have your help. It will also be a great training for the regatta as well as saving you the flights!
If you or anyone you know might fancy joining for the delivery as mile-building experience then we will only ask a small contribution towards provisions & fuel.
All the event information can be found on the Cork Week Website here.
