The final stretch!

More arrivals expected into Wicklow Sailing Club today after a 6 days at sea! The calm weather has taken this Round Ireland to near record duration with 9 out of the 53 crews that started the race having had to retire.

The calm weather has also delayed Friday’s prize giving to Saturday to allow the majority of crews to return for a celebration ✨
