Polaris/Pride of Galway Crew Reunion Next Week at DMYC

26th March 2014

#tallshipsireland – Just over a week to go until the gathering of those involved in the Sail Training adventure that was the 25 metre ketch Polaris/Pride of Galway writes Fiacc OBrolchain. Trainees, crew, volunteers and skippers have been coming out of the woodwork as contacts have been renewed for what was, in retrospect, the golden age of Sail Training in Ireland.

Money was tight but there were more berths available to those interested with Asgard II, Polaris/Pride of Galway and the Yachtmaster training vessel Tir na nOg, not to mention the great work being done by Glenans.

There will be great retelling of voyages, Tall Ships events and the struggle to fund the programme on Thursday 3rd March

Ben Garvey will be along on the way to spread the ashes of his farther Brian who made the whole adventure possible with the huge effort put in by himself and his wife Sue.
