Roy Disney’s Pyewacket and Hasso Plattner’s Morning Glory. These 86ft maxis had an infamous rivalry and are seen here in close quarters in Cork Week 2006.
Roy Disney was also a long standing member of the Royal Cork Yacht Club. Having passed away in 2009, his legacy lives on in our Youth Sailing, through his generous bursary which, he donated for the benefit of our junior sailors and of course the Pyewacket Trophy.
