With just two weeks to go until the Rankin ‘Worlds’ at the RCYC on 27th–28th June, excitement is building for another great gathering of the Rankin fleet.

The revival of these iconic Cobh-built clinker dinghies continues, with 35 boats now in the class and more restorations underway. The two day and five races sailing event provides a wonderful opportunity to celebrate both competitive sailing and the rich local heritage of the Rankin boat.

All Rankin owners are encouraged to make every effort to take part and help make this year’s event a memorable occasion for the class.  Members are invited to visit and admire these classic Dinghies gathered on display for the weekend. 

The Rankin Class would like to thank our main sponsor, Port of Cork, and our supporting sponsors RopeDock, CH Marine, Union Chandlery, DOSCO, Centra Crosshaven, Cuskinny Adventure Centre and Marshall Marine Textiles for their generous support of this year’s event.
