Hibernia Line Signs Up as Corporate Partner of Cork Harbour Triple Crown Series 2026

Hibernia Line - the new Irish ferry operator linking Cork to France - has signed up as corporate partner of the Cork Harbour Triple Crown Series 2026.

This is a unique sailing competition that brings together four of Cork Harbour’s leading sailing clubs for three weekends of exciting racing this September.

Now in its second year, the Triple Crown combines three iconic harbour races into one championship series, celebrating Cork’s rich maritime heritage, outstanding sailing talent and the strong sense of community that makes Cork Harbour so special.

Organised by Cove Sailing Club, Royal Cork Yacht Club, Monkstown Bay Sailing Club and the Navy Yacht Squadron, the series will see sailors compete across three events:

• Cobh to Blackrock Race – 5 September

• Cork Buoy Race – 12 September

• Navy Race – 19 September

Competitors earn points across all three races, with the overall Triple Crown champions crowned following the final race.

As a Cork-headquartered ferry operator connecting Cork and France six days a week, Hibernia Line is delighted to support an event that showcases the harbour, its maritime traditions and the people who make it thrive.

Aidan Coffey, Founder and CEO of Hibernia Line, said: “Backing local sailing is a natural fit for Hibernia Line. Cork Harbour is at the heart of our story, and we are proud to support an event that celebrates the skill, passion and maritime heritage of our local sailing community. The Triple Crown is a fantastic showcase for Cork and an opportunity to welcome visitors and sailing enthusiasts from across Ireland and beyond.”

The Triple Crown Series reflects the spirit of collaboration that exists throughout Cork Harbour, bringing together clubs, sailors, businesses and maritime organisations in a celebration of one of Ireland’s most spectacular natural harbours.
