Confirmation has just come in that CIIs will be racing during the second week of CORK this year, in the “CORK OCR” (Olympic Classes Regatta) event, August 23-27.  This will also serve as the 2009 Worlds. The CORK OCR will follow the next week, and that will be the main CII event for anyone arriving from out of town. Here's how the CORK organizers envision the OCR:

“The Olympic Classes Event will mainly focus on Olympic Classes, but will include development classes, such as Laser Radial men, 29er and CII. This High Performance event will be geared towards the more experienced sailors, providing racing in an international setting and in a race format commonly used at comparable events internationally. The goal is to qualify high level ISAF Grading for more classes. This event will allow for training and mentoring of officials striving to achieve or maintain International level certification, and will attract International level officials from other countries.”
