#JUMBLE – A Boat Jumble in Cork city planned for this weekend at Custom House Quay has been 'postponed' following organiser concerns about a 'low level of participation'. The plan is to tweak the event format to encourage a greater take up and 'reschedule for a new date' according to a Boat Jumble spokesman.

About the Class 40

The Class40 is a kind of monohull sailboat primarily used for short-handed offshore and coastal racing. It is dedicated to offshore racing and has been around since 2004, serving as an intermediate oceanic boat between the Mini 650 (6.50m) and the 60-foot IMOCA (18.24m). The boat is strictly regulated, with a maximum length of 12.19 m. These boats are designed to sail in all weather conditions, and their performance has recently improved significantly. It is not uncommon to reach speeds of up to 26 knots (according to GPS), and planing up to 15 knots is normal.
