#fullirish – Irish sailor of the year David Kenefick departs on a 100–mile delivery race down the coast to Les Sables-d'Olonne in advance of the first race of the year, The Solo Maitre Coq which starts on Thursday. His boat "The Full Irish' is completely ready, he says, in spite of the light weather forecast which looks very challenging. 

The 320–mile race has a record entry of 36 entries and Kenefick, as usual, is the only Irish entry. Listen in to him hear talking about life in L'Orient, on the French Atlantic coast and his race preparations in the podcast above. Entry list below:
