Cork Week Welcomes New Competitors with Extended Coastal Fleet Criteria

The Royal Cork Yacht Club expands entry criteria for the Coastal Fleet at Cork Week 2026, set for July 6-10. In response to competitor feedback, the fleet now welcomes all boats 30ft and longer. This move allows owners to race with spinnakers on longer, offshore-style courses, shifting away from resource-heavy "round-the-cans" racing.

John Treanor's NMD 43 "Cristina," a former French Admiral's cup yacht "Albator," is already confirmed for this year's Coastal Fleet. Treanor previously led the J/112e "Valentina" to victory at Cork Week 2024.

The full list of entrants is available on the official Cork Week 2026 Entries Page.
