Why we love the Round Ireland Race
EH01's skipper Neil Maher says: 'It is probably my favourite offshore race. It has an incredibly friendly and welcoming atmosphere at the start and finish with an incredibly challenging course. The scenery is stunning with huge contrasts between the rugged west coast and a tamer east coast as well as the iconic Fastnet rock. Some of the wildlife that can be encountered is breathtaking including lots of sea birds and marine mammals.' Neil may be slightly biased as Ireland is his home turf & surf, but we agree with him! This is a real gem of offshore racing.
