Cork 300
Cork 300 is the umbrella title for a series of events which will be held in Cork harbour and further afield in 2020.
300 years earlier, 25 individuals came together and created what is now the oldest yacht club in the world (where it all began). Today, there are thousands of yacht clubs across the globe with a collective membership running into the millions.
Cork, its harbour and its communities will proudly celebrate all that is on offer to visitors to Irelands Maritime Paradise with a series of events throughout the year. Register your interest here.
The lead events will be as follows:
July – The Great Gathering (Keelboats)
August – The Three Championship Weeks (Dinghies)
August – The Club At Home Regatta (Keelboats & Dinghies)
Supported by a host of other events both an and off the water in Ireland and across the globe throughout 2020.
