The 1720 sportsboat European Championships will be hosted on the Irish South Coast in 2021. The fleet will muster at Waterford Harbour Sailing Club after the disappointment of the cancellation of its 2020 event at Royal Cork Yacht Club due to the pandemic.
Dunmore East Harbour will host up to 30 1720s from June 4th-6th, according to the club's Cruiser Captain Julian Hughes.
As regular Afloat readers know, Robert O'Leary and the Dutch Gold crew completed a hat trick of wins at the Munster Championships, Baltimore Cup and the Southern Championships this year in Cork Harbour, so he is the form boat heading into the 2021 season highlight on the Copper Coast.
