The 7 boats in the Volvo Ocean race are making ready for the off in Galway. A hugely successful stopover in galway saw up to 400,000 people young and old, local and foreign pass through the race village in Galway harbour. Full marks to the team that brought this wonderful event to Ireland.
Lets hope we can stage another stopover in the future. All agree that this was the best thing to happen in Ireland this year and it was great to have Green Dragon finish the leg to Galway from Boston on the podium, with Limerick owned boat Delta lloyd in 5th.
