‘Quality of racing was second to none’ despite fall in yacht numbers
After an initial hour-long delay to allow for the passage of a massive container ship through the mouth of the harbour, some 115 yachts of all classes took to the waters of the inner harbour just after 12 noon for the final competitive event of the Royal Cork Yacht Club’s Cork Week 2012.
The fleet provided a great spectacle as yachts raced from Roches Point in as far as Cobh, where the vessels turned at a mark just off-shore.
