FOR the third day in a row, the gods smiled on Crosshaven yesterday, confounding the weather watchers’ predictions of atrocious conditions and delivering what was, by consensus, the best day’s sailing so far of Cork Week.

IT’S all hands on deck to ensure everything is shipshape for Ireland’s largest sailing regatta next week.

THE Excellence Ireland Quality Association (EIQA) this week presented Cork firm An Excellent Choice Caterers with the prestigious Q-Mark award for quality.
