Tom Dolan Lies Sixth in 220 Miles Sprint

8th June 2017

The boat name changes for virtually every race, but the number stays the same on Tom Dolan’s Pogo 610, and in the current Marie-Agnes Peron Trophy, he’s listed as an Irish entry.

In a fleet of 55 boats, Ireland’s Mini Transat contender Tom Dolan currently lies sixth in class in his Pogo 610 IRL 910, sailing this 220 mile race as Sellastab.com for the Marie-Agnes Peron Trophy from Douarnenez. After a good start, he seemed to get hung up in the tricky tides at the Raz de Seine, but with speeds not as fast as forecast, with 136 miles still to sail there’s still all to play for.
