Changes at Cork Week
Cork Week 2010 will be staged from July 10-16 and the next edition will have some interesting changes. Recent alterations to the rules adopted into the Rolex Commodore’s Cup have proved very successful and it has been decided that certain elements of the event will be used for the bi-annual regatta staged by the Royal Cork Yacht Club. This makes even more sense when you consider that the country versus country, flagship RORC event, will be staged a month after Cork Week and undoubtedly teams would love to race at Cork Week with their full crew and against the boats that they will be competing against.
Cork Week 2010 will therefore allow Group 3 sailors to race in the relevant classes but they will be restricted to the exact Commodores Cup Format of:
IRC TCF 1.120 – 1.230 2 Group Three sailors
IRC TCF 1.075 – 1.119 1 Group Three sailor
IRC TCF 1.025 – 1.074 1 Group Three sailor
Furthermore the strict RCC rules regarding helmsmen will apply such that Corinthian sailors are required to helm in the above classes.
Super Zero & Zero and One Design Classes, whose Class Rules do not limit professional sailors will be allowed as many Group 3 sailors as they like.
Anthony O’Leary, Chairman of Cork Week’s organizing committee commented; “We feel it is time to make some changes which reflect the needs of owners and competitors that are attracted to Cork Week. We are also very much aware that many competitors found the last edition too expensive in many areas and the organizing committee will shortly be announcing some measures to address this concern. One thing that will never change at Cork Week is the warm welcome offered to all of the competitors, the committee are all working hard to produce a world class, international event for 2010.”
