The first world yacht race ever to come to Ireland will arrive in Galway in a week’s time. It will be the biggest sporting and tourist event in Ireland this year. Friday night's edition of Seascapes (May 15th, 10.30pm, RTE Radio 1) comes from the Volvo Race Centre in Boston on the eve of the race start across the Atlantic Ocean to the City of the Tribes, as the racing crews prepare for the start of this historic Irish leg of the race.
