After Enda O’Coineen, who became the first Irishman to take part in the Vendée Globe in 2016-2017, one of his compatriots is now preparing for the 2020 race. Nicholas O’Leary recently raced alongside Alex Thomson on Hugo Boss in the Rolex Fastnet Race. It is in fact the team that ran Thomson’s last project, led by Stewart Hosford, that is behind this new campaign called Ireland Ocean Racing. Their goal is to enable an Irishman to complete the non-stop solo round the world voyage for the first time.
