1720 Munsters 2020
2020-09-26 - 2020-09-27 | Cork Harbour, Ireland
Update 19th September 2020 – now to be a regional event “1720 Munsters”
1720 Nationals Announcement: Due to the recent government announcement, the organising authorities (MBSC & BSC) have made the decision to downgrade the 2020 1720 Nationals Championships to a regional event, the “1720 Munsters”.
The event schedule will be amended to a two day format – Sat 26th & Sun 27th September.
New NOR is now available on the link below.
Update 4 September 2020 – Change of Location to Cork Harbour
After reviewing the current government guidelines and seeking guidance from the local businesses in Baltimore, we as a committee feel that we cannot provide the same level of racing and entertainment as experienced in the Baltimore Cup this year. We are saddened to make this announcement but look forward to hopefully welcoming you back to Baltimore in 2021.

After discussions with Monkstown Bay Sailing Club, we have agreed to run the event in Cork Harbour on the same dates – 25th, 26th, 27th September 2020. This will be done as a combined effort between the two clubs as we are both of the opinion that the event should not be cancelled this year provided we can run it in line with the Covid-19 government guidelines.
