The "head of the river" race from COBH to BLACKROCK and on to Cork takes place on Sat 4, we at SailCork have our JUNIOR REGATTA on Sun 12, the dinghy race from Cobh to BALLINACURRA is on Sat 18 as is the "NAVY RACE" to Haulbowline - at SailCork we will be running dinghy sailing, powerboating, cruiser sailing and kayaking at weekends - specialising on juniors on Saturdays and families on Sunday mornings and adults on Sunday afternoons - of course we will have full weekend courses as well ........and at the end of September we begin our evening navigation classes.
