“The facility is fantastic, it’s something that often gets overlooked at other regattas. And the volunteers at CORK are always incredible. They’re so committed to hosting a fun, competitive regatta.”
“There’s something special about CORK’s mix of grassroots and high-level racing. You see sailors of all levels on the same water, which creates a cool sense of community.”
“CORK has excellent sailing conditions, well-appointed facilities, and professionally run races. But we also love the charm of the city. Kingston is the perfect mix of old and new with lots to do and see, tons of accommodation, and an outstanding selection of places to eat. As an organizer of events, I am a huge advocate of making sure a regatta happens on a regular basis at CORK because all sailors will tell you it’s an unforgettable experience.”
