The popular West Cork Village of Baltimore will next month play host to the 1720 Nationals which will be sailed in the picturesque setting of Roaring Water Bay.

The Cork 1720 Sportsboat fleet is still going strong in Ireland and with boats travelling down from Dublin, Crosshaven and even the UK to join the large local fleet already based in Baltimore, this year's event looks to be attracting around some 20 entries.

As well as the great racing agenda, there are good après-sail activities planned for the evenings including a big BBQ on the last night at the recently extended and renovated clubhouse of BSC.

A warm friendly welcome awaits, so why not come and join us? – NOR and entry forms available for download now on the BSC website www.baltimoresailingclub.com
