My name is Mark O'Connor and at 26, I am aiming to become the youngest Irish person to race solo across the Atlantic Ocean solo. For the previous 2 years, I have been in France sailing/racing in order to qualify for this Transatlantic race. I am now proud to say that I have qualified, and will start in September 2025 from Les Sables D'olonnes, France racing to Guadeloupe. To date I have sailed over 8,000 nautical miles with my boat, which is equivalent to 11 times around the island of Ireland!
If you would like to know some more information or are interested in joining my journey in a sponsorship capacity, please do not hesitate to contact me at: mocsailing@gmail.com
