A man has embarked on a quest to single-handedly sail a 13-foot dinghy around the entire coastline of Ireland for charity.
Gary ‘Ted’ Sargent, from Dublin, left Schull, Co. Cork on 14 May, on his solo 1500K journey around Ireland to raise money for ChildVision, a national charity dedicated to the support of blind and multi-disabled children. It is expected to take him between 25 and 40 days.
