Speaking at the announcement of this innovative addition to the popular CH Marine Autumn Series, Kieran O’Connell, Rear Admiral Racing at the Royal Cork outlined that “The Club has recently applied for a Crew Training Grant from the Irish Cruiser Racing Association (ICRA). Earlier this year at the ICRA annual conference, availability of this grant was announced and it has enabled the Royal Cork to collaborate with North Sails Ireland to run an on the water race training program during the upcoming Autumn Series sponsored by CH Marine”.
Kieran gave a brief outline of the program, “North Sails Ireland working with their Media Partners Isla Media from Cork will be active on the water before and during racing.

The North Sails Team will consist of Nigel Young, Maurice “Prof” O’Connell and newest member Shane Hughes. Nigel and Shane will be in the Ribs and Prof who will be racing on board ‘Jump Juice’ will helping with his “View from the race course” after race analysis”.
