All hands on deck as Cork Week shapes up to be the best

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

An army of volunteers is busy with final preparations as Crosshaven gears up for ACCBank Cork Week, which will be officially launched on Sunday.

About 80,000 visitors are expected to attend what has become one of Europe’s premier regattas — worth an estimated €50 million to the local economy.
