The BMW Cruiser Nationals (the flagship event of the Irish Cruiser Racing Association) will take place between Friday May 25th and Sunday May 27th. The regatta is the National Championships for Cruiser Classes and promises to be a highly competitive event.
Howth Yacht Club is hosting the event for the Irish Cruiser Racing Association for the third time and this year is supported with sponsorship from BMW. Racing for Cruiser Classes 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be over a mixture of round-the-cans and windward-leeward courses in a seven race series. Non-spinnaker boats will compete in six races for ICRA’s Corinthian Cup.
