Yeah, good morning.
It's really exciting.
I was down on the boat at eight o'clock this morning.
Nice, soft Irish conditions.
But the Round Ireland race is not to be undertaken lightly.
It's 704 miles and whatever about the design of Ireland, it's a perfect race mark.
And over 50 boats will be heading out from Wicklow tomorrow.
They'll be started by the Lough Aranach Samuel Beckett.
So it's really quite exciting.
Well, it's actually a mixture.
It's kind of intergenerational learning.
We have some old sea salts, people who are quite experienced, who in fact pay to go.
It's the experience of a lifetime.
So she's more of a training boat.
And then we had a public competition.
It was open to anybody in Ireland.
That's 18 to 25.
Under 18, you know, this is quite a machine.
And we had 39 applicants and we shortlisted 12, all who will go to sail on the boat.
And four of those are selected for the crew that starts tomorrow, some of whom have never really sailed before.
