Soufriere achieved lasting fame when she was chosen as the 'Yacht of Choice' for James Bond in the film Casino Royale. She competed in the Lambay race earlier this season and after spending the rest of this summer in Sneen Harbour, Co. Kerry, will hopefully be back in HYC racing in the Autumn League.
Congratulations to the entire crew which consisted of Stephen O'Flaherty (skipper and owner), Stephen Quinn (mainsheet), Anthony Shanks (tactician), Emma McDonald (trim), Peter Kingston (trim), Laura Dillon (trim), Sinead Harte (pitt), Joe Turner (mast) and David Cagney (bow).
