CANCELLATION

Tom has been on standby in Concarneau for  the last  week  waiting to bring the Figaro 3 to Dublin.

The weather has been poor  and  is set to deteriorated further with the expected arrival of Hurricane Lorenzo later this week.

Having looked at all the options , Tom has reluctantly  Decided to cancel the  trip. He is really disappointed but safely is always the first consideration.

Tom Dolan and his Figaro 3 are available (sailing out of NYC) from Tuesday 1st of October to Friday 11th October for corporate entertainment.

All funds raised through this initiative will go towards Sailing into Wellness, an award winning programme which uses the experiences of sailing to help create stable lives for people suffering from poor mental health, addiction and social exclusion.

The Figaro can host up to 6 guests for a 3 hour sail and 'Sailing into Wellness' is seeking donations of a minimum of €600  for each 3 hour booking.
