It is with great admiration that Lough Swilly Yacht Club sends its best wishes to Enda O’Coineen and Team Ireland as Enda embarks on the upcoming Vendée Globe campaign. We are delighted that the Irish sailing community has an ambassador to represent and promote this island nation on such a global scale.
We appreciate that the magnitude of diverse challenges Enda will face are as vast as the oceans he will cross and we acknowledge the level of resilience needed to overcome them. With that in mind the quote “to finish first, first you must finish” seems fitting and we bid Enda fair winds to complete the circumnavigation. Although it will be a solo voyage we trust he will draw strength from the knowledge of avid sailors at home who will be eagerly tracking the Kilcullen Voyager.

Best speed, success and safety,
