When it comes to sailing thorough breds they don't get much purer than the Volvo Ocean Racing 70 Class, and after the massively successful stopover in Galway two years ago Irish interest in the class and the Ocean race itself is still very strong. Having had Chinese sponsorship behind the Irish Green Dragon entry last time it is entirely fitting that Discover Ireland be one of the sponsors for China's entry 'Team Sanya', and with Lough Derg Yacht Club sailor Frank Leonard aboard as the Media Crew Member the tinge of green runs deeper than just the paint job!
