Sail south to Wicklow

Round Ireland yatch race

Head downwind to Wicklow town where you can marvel at 36 yachts at full sail at the start of the five-day Round Ireland Yacht Race Saturday June 28th at 2pm. The best views are to be had at Black Castle, ancient ruins overlooking Wicklow Bay, where through binoculars you might be able to spy Bobby Kerr of Dragon's Den fame and now host of Newstalk's business show as a crew member aboard Newstalk Adrenalin. You can also watch Eddie Goggins, Ireland's number one stunt pilot, do some thrilling loop the loops over the water. See roundirelandyachtrace.com
