Top yacht designer still haunted by Fastnet tragedy
Kinsale-based Ron Holland, who took part in the race in which 15 men perished after a violent storm wreaked havoc on the 306 yachts taking part, admits he still reflects on how lucky he is to be alive.
The 63-year-old, who lost six of his own pals to the sea on that fateful August day, said he will pause to remember those who were lost tonight at a presentation show in Kinsale about a yacht he designed which competed in that same race.
