Hannah to skipper Cork in yacht race

A RISING star of ocean racing will skipper the Irish entry in a round-the-world yacht race as it crosses the Atlantic to Ireland this summer.

Professional sailor Hannah Jenner, who turns 30 on July 29, was in Cork yesterday for the announcement that she will take the helm of the Cork boat which is competing in the Clipper ’09-’10 race.

The fleet is due to arrive in Kinsale sometime between July 1 and 4.
