Nearly one week to go before the Volvo Irish Sailing Awards, and the judges have been weighing up the nominations for the very last time. You still have time to register for tickets for the Awards, taking place in the RDS Dublin on the evening of Friday 9 February. And you can win a trip to the final of the Volvo Ocean Race 2017-18 into the bargain too!
This year as well as the overall Afloat.ie award the night also celebrates heroism and rescue on the high seas, the young talent storming their way up the ranks, the training centres and instructors setting the standards in teaching, the plethora of people who compete around Ireland and further afield, and the volunteers who make it all happen. Irish Sailing is flying over Santiago Alegre from Spain and Simon Hoffman from Australia. These two young men saved the life of Johnny Durcan, one of Irish Sailing's High Performance sailors this summer in California, and we’ll be talking to them to hear what happened.
