Record numbers for the 2019 CORK Fall Regatta!

Kingston, ONT (September 23, 2019) – A record two hundred and sixty four athletes travelled to Kingston, Ontario, Canada to compete in the CORK Fall regatta this past weekend at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour. The weather forecast was predicting temperature in the 20s and good wind for the last weekend of summer.  The final regatta of the year attracted many returning athletes, coaches, families and volunteers from across Ontario, Quebec and as far away as Nova Scotia, the United States and Mexico.  

Saturday’s condition were sunny with light wind.  The first day of racing was a great day for those lightest in all of the fleets.

Sunday morning the breeze came through   Everyone was eager to get out on the race course as there were many opportunities on the leader board.  12 knots of breeze from the SSW that continued throughout the day with gusts in the higher teens.  The sun popped out in the afternoon capping off the day with the heat and humidity of a typical summer day.  

There was plenty of action out on the water over the two day regatta with 5 races for the Laser 4.7, Optimist and the Radial   fleets,  6 races for both the c420 and Laser Standard fleet the 29ers knocked out 10 races and the 49er and 49er FX fleets finished the regatta with 12 races each.  Fabulous freshwater conditions,   Kingston sailing at its finest! 

The final regatta of CORK’s 50th celebration year will be one to remember.   Thank you to all of the participants for travelling to Kingston to compete. 

Bravo Zulu to all of the CORK volunteers for your teamwork, dedication and excellence!  You have much to be proud of for making CORK’s 50th a year to remember! 

You are truly the best team!
