CORK Sailing Portsmouth Olympic Harbour Lake Ontario

Apr 23, 2020

The CORK Board continues to monitor developments and meet regularly to plan for the future. Generally, our partners (Sail Canada, Ontario Sailing, City of Kingston, class associations, etc) continue to take a waiting approach, with cancellations until the end of May for some.

The possibility remains that a national body such as Sport Canada could mandate a general cancellation.

We have a few updates to share with you all from the last CORK board meeting:

•CORK events are not cancelled at this time, any cancellation decision will be done at least 45 days in advance of each event.
Contingency budgets have been developed to safeguard CORK’s financial reserves.

We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
