‘Tired, hungry and sore – but it was incredible’

THEY may have travelled around the world despite being amateurs but the crew of the Cork Clipper can’t really do “downtime”.

Walking along the marina in Kinsale, it’s still a flurry of activity aboard the yacht. Back in Cork for four days at this stage, the crew are all busy filling water tanks and doing a “major clean up”.

Their skipper, since they had to relinquish their first yacht (following a calamitous accident in the Java Sea last January where the first boat struck a submerged reef), is Hannah Jenner.
