The Cork 1720, often simply referred to as the 1720 Sportsboat, represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of modern European one-design racing. Commissioned by members of the Royal Cork Yacht Club (RCYC) in 1994 to celebrate the club’s founding year (1720), the vessel was designed by Tony Castro Yacht Design to bridge the gap between high-performance dinghies and traditional keelboats. Originally manufactured by McDowell Marine in Ireland, the boat was engineered to provide high-speed, adrenaline-filled racing that could be managed by a crew of five. With its narrow beam, deep lifting bulb keel, and powerful fractional rig, the 1720 became a staple of the European regatta circuit, particularly at events like Cork Week and Cowes Week.
