CORK -Canadian Olympic training Regatta Kingston was established in 1969 by a group of enthusiastic sailors. This volunteer team all agreed that Kingston offered fantastic fresh-water sailing, exceptional wind and wave conditions, race courses close to shore, knowledgeable officials and volunteers and a welcoming and vibrant city. In short Kingston was ideal for hosting large sailing regattas.
CORK emerged as an established event on the international regatta circuit. Excellent training opportunities became a priority for athletes, coaches and volunteers. This experience and expertise made CORK the preferred choice as the sailing venue for the 1976 Montreal Olympics.
Annual events attract participants of all ages, from across the country and around the world from June through to September. Each year more than 1000 boats compete. CORK has hosted 45 World Championships to date, and as many as double that number of North American and Canadian Championships.
