Description
The Volvo Round Ireland Yacht Race starts from Wicklow on 18th June 2016. The 704nm course is simply to leave Ireland & her islands to starboard. The Volvo Round Ireland Yacht Race is Ireland’s premier offshore sailing race and is held every two years by Wicklow Sailing Club in association with the Royal Ocean Racing Club & since 2014 also with Royal Irish YC in Dun Laoghaire.
