The festive feelings are nearly upon us again and that means that we will be all braving the cold and crisp winter morning to compete in the O’Leary Insurance Group Winter Series at the Royal Cork Yacht Club.

From 4 November for six consecutive Sundays, the O’Leary Insurance Group Winter Series will be held at Royal Cork Yacht Club in Crosshaven.

The Royal Cork website has the Notice of Race and entry form, as well as a link to keep track of race results, and all at the club are looking forward to welcoming visiting boats for this year’s Winter Series.

Two years ago the O’Leary Family presented the Royal Cork with the perpetual Irish Mist trophy to honour the memory of Archie O’Leary, a past admiral of the club.

This trophy will be awarded for the best performing boat under IRC. The club thanks the O’Leary family for their generosity.

Shannon Foynes Port Information

Shannon Foynes Port (SFPC) are investing in an unprecedented expansion at its general cargo terminal, Foynes, adding over two-thirds the size of its existing area. In the latest phase of a €64 million investment programme, SFPC is investing over €20 million in enabling works alone to convert 83 acres on the east side of the existing port into a landbank for marine-related industry, port-centric logistics and associated infrastructure. The project, which will be developed on a phased basis over the next five years, will require the biggest infrastructure works programme ever undertaken at the port, with the entire 83 acre landbank having to be raised by 4.4 metres. The programme will also require the provision of new internal roads and multiple bridge access as well as roundabout access.
