2010 Cobh/Blackrock Race -Saturday 4th September- Update

This year to help celebrate the Cork Harbour Open Day which is taking place on the same day, Cove Sailing Club and all competitors in the Cobh Blackrock race have been invited by the Port of Cork to berth at the new City Quays pontoon.

Any boats taking part in the race can berth overnight at the City Quay pontoon free of charge.

Cove Sailing Club will hold the prizegiving at The Boardwalk restaurant on Lapps Quay (just opposite the pontoon) during the afternoon with The Boardwalk aproviding a barbecue for competitors (priced about €10) or their usual menu will be available inside. There is a great pedestrian area along Lapps Quay (hence the name of the restaurant) so we are hoping this will provide a welcome change and make it easier for families who may want to come out and enjoy the afternoon.

Additionally all crews staying overnight on the City pontoon can avail themselves of showers (€5) and/or breakfast (€10) at the Clarion Hotel (next to The Boardwalk) the next morning. These are available at preferential rates for competitors staying overnight on the pontoon only. We've been advised by the Clarion that there are also a few number of rooms still available and if anyone is interested they should contact the Clarion Hotel (021 422 4942) for details. It is very busy that weekend so if you are interested please let them know quickly.

There is no entry fee and there will be the usual trophies and prizes for winners and runners up etc.
