Kerry's Damian Foxall has been signed-up by French skipper Franck Cammas for the 2011-’12 edition of the round the world Volvo Ocean Race. David Branigan of The Irish Times breaks the news this morning. It follows the recent announcement of a two-race entry with full backing by Insurance giant Groupama. Matching his position with the Green Dragon team, Ireland's top offshore sailor is one of two watch-leaders on-board and will be responsible for crew-preparation as the team is assembled next year. The Irish Times story is here.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full-time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.
