Sail with NYC Solo Sailor Tom Dolan on-board his foiling Figaro 3 this October & raise funds for ‘Sailing into Wellness’
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.
