Regatta makes waves in Kinsale

KINSALE will benefit to the tune of €2.5 million as the Sovereign’s Cup Regatta gets underway today.

An alternative to Ford Cork Week, the Sovereign’s Cup Regatta is a biennial event, first held in 1995, that has grown from strength to strength in that time.

The spectacular trophy for the best overall performer under the IRC handicap system, has been presented by Brown Thomas/Waterford Wedgwood and is the most coveted prize of the weekend’s activities.
