#VOLVO OCEAN RACE – Ireland's Ocean Race Green Dragon is basking in Spanish sunshine and settling into her new role as a 'legend' as our photo from Alicante shows below. The photo was taken before she left the dock for the first race in the Legends Regatta. Can you spot some famous Irish sailing faces? (Answers below!) Her core sailing crew is all Irish and under 30, her skipper is a 28–year old Kiwi, bearing out the youth development possibilities of this Irish owned Volvo 70 design.

The 'Legends' or past Ocean Race sailors on the Dragon are:

1. Joe English.
2. Harry Cudmore.
3. Kilian Bushe.
4. Bouwe Bekking.
5. Jerry Kirby.
6. Chris McLaughlin - arriving tonight.
7. Merfyn Owen - Owen Clarke design.
