About
Founded in 1720 as the Water Club of the Harbour of Cork, the Royal Cork is widely cited as the oldest yacht club in the world. The marina at Crosshaven is a working hub of Irish sailing and the home of Cork Week, the biennial regatta. The clubhouse bar and restaurant are open during normal hours, so non-members can take in the atmosphere and the boats.
