Clipper crew to return to Cork boat

A SAILOR on the Irish entry in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, which was abandoned after hitting a reef, said she and her crew-mates will be back on a Cork boat by the time the race arrives Ireland this summer.

Jacqui Browne, from Fenit in Co Kerry, said the entire Cork Clipper crew is safe and well and committed to getting back in the race as soon as possible.

“We hope to be on a Cork boat by the time the race gets to California but we’ll definitely be on a Cork boat for the Jamaica leg to Ireland,” Jacqui said.
