The 2010 Sailing Season will kick off with a spectacular, high energy, black tie event to celebrate the one of the greatest achievement in Irish sailing history – the Green Dragon participation on the Volvo Ocean Race and the already legendary Galway Stopover. The Ball is in aid of Ocean Youth Trust Ireland which brings 12 to 24 year olds from disadvantaged back grounds sail training teaching them leadership, interpersonal and team skills.

Neal McDonald and other member of the Green Dragon team will provide you with the real stories behind the Irish Entry in 2008 – 2009 Volvo Ocean Race.

See for yourself the thrills and spills of this amazing adventure onboard the ultimate racing machine. Hear what life is really like onboard, about the highs and lows and the welcome that awaited the team in Galway.

Plans are already advanced for an Irish entry for the next Volvo Ocean Race including the involvement of ‘Lets Do It GLOBAL’ – Green Dragon Ocean Youth Academy.

The Ball will include a Champaign Reception, Superb Meal, Neil’s Presentation, Band and Dancing until late.

To book a table or individual places simply complete the form and fax it back to us.

We very much hope we'll see you there for a great pre-season evening.

Chairman, Ocean Youth Trust, Dublin
