100-strong IRC fleet expected for 2018 European Championship in the Solent.
The IRC fleet competes in a European Championship held at various racing venues. In 2016 it was held in Cork, Ireland and in July 2017 it will be held in Marseille, France. In 2018 the IRC European Championship will take place in Cowes, and will incorporate the Commodores’ Cup. It is expected to attract up to 100 individual entries over the nine-day period (8-16 June 2018).
The Marseille 2017 European IRC Championship organized by the Union Nationale pour la Course au Large, the Cercle Nautique et Touristique du Lacydon, the Société Nautique de Marseille and the Union Nautique Marseillaise will take place in Marseille from the 5th to the 9th of July.
After a first and successful edition held in Cork in July 2016, Marseille is preparing to welcome more than 1500 competitors. The first intentions of registration received from yachts and sailors from Belgium, Italy, Spain or United Kingdom reveal a huge enthusiasm for this new event which should gather the Top of the European sailors.
