O’Rourke’s VOR Bid Taking Water
Ireland’s Second entry into October’s Volvo Ocean Race (VOR) is sinking before it leaves the dock, and a lack of sponsorship is to blame, according to its skipper, 2007 Fastnet race-winner Ger O’Rourke.

In a round-robin email sent yesterday, O’Rourke admits the project needs a “lifeline”. He is 2 million Euros short on a 4 million budget, and cannot proceed on his own.

A decision on the future of the campaign will be made in a week, and O’Rourke concludes that last-ditch efforts for sponsorship will be made up to next Friday. But he warns that the state of the capital markets means “it’s not looking good”.
