Cork Week, hosted by the Royal Cork Yacht Club, is looking forward to hosting the
Etchells European Championships from 6th to 10th July 2026.
Over 50 entries have already been received for all classes and an up-to-date entry list
can be seen at www.corkweek.ie/cork-week-2026-entries
The Etchells Notice of Race has now been published on the Cork Week Site, and all
classes can enter online.
The Royal Cork Yacht Club recently complete the purchase of the marina and hard
standing at Salve Marina next door to the club. This purchase will benefit the club for
years to come with its extensive deep-water marina and facilities to launch and retrieve
keelboats at all states of the tide. The Etchells Europeans will be the first major
international regatta to benefit from this extension to club facilities.
In addition to some local boats, the Cowes Fleet has committed to bringing a number of
boats and interest has also been received from both the US and Australia. There is also
a charter package available from the Cowes Fleet for those interested in joining us
(details in the NOR).
More to come as entries are confirmed.
