CORK WEEK with RS21's

Cork Week 2024 will welcome an exciting addition to its line-up of competitive sailing classes as the RS21 One Design Class makes its debut at this renowned regatta. Cork Week has earned a reputation as one of the premier sailing events in Europe, with a rich history dating back to the 1970s and attracting sailors from all around the world. The inclusion of the RS21 One Design Class is a testament to the event's commitment to providing diverse and challenging racing opportunities for all participants.

Introduced in 2018 the RS21 One Design Class is a relatively new addition to the world of sailboat racing. It has rapidly gained popularity thanks to its emphasis on close, tactical racing and its accessibility for sailors of varying skill levels. Cork Week organisers are excited about the RS21 One Design Class’s fresh energy. It has the potential to attract a new generation of sailors to the regatta, as well as providing seasoned competitors with a dynamic and competitive racing experience.

Sailors and fans alike can anticipate thrilling, closely contested races as crews compete in identical RS21 boats, levelling the playing field and intensifying the competition. This class also encourages camaraderie among sailors, as they share the same equipment and have opportunities to learn from each other throughout the event. Success on the racecourse is determined by the skill and strategy of the crew rather than differences in equipment.

As crews set their sights on the stunning waters of Cork, Ireland, 2024, the RS21 One Design Class promises to add an extra layer of excitement and intrigue to an already prestigious event. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a newcomer to the sport, Cork Week 2024 is shaping up to be an unforgettable celebration of sailboat racing, sportsmanship, and spirited socialising.
