0:00:02 > 0:00:043, 2, 1, go!

0:00:04 > 0:00:06That is the start of the Clipper Race.

0:00:06 > 0:00:0910 yachts. 40,000 miles.

0:00:09 > 0:00:13500 competitors from more than 40 countries.

0:00:13 > 0:00:17This is the Clipper Round The World Yacht Race,

0:00:17 > 0:00:20the longest ocean challenge on the planet.

0:00:21 > 0:00:28Starting in Southampton, the 10 month voyage will circumnavigate the globe in eight legs.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32It's crewed entirely by nonprofessional sailors

0:00:32 > 0:00:37who have each paid £40,000 for the privilege of taking part for the full year.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42For City of Culture in 2013,

0:00:42 > 0:00:45Derry City Council has sponsored one of the 10 yachts.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47The Derry-Londonderry.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57This is the story of three unemployed young people from the city.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59I've never been on a boat before at all.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03They will take turns to join the crew for one leg of the voyage each.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06I'm here, I've got here and there's no going back now.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10I can't pinpoint one promotion, it's like nervousness, excitement,

0:01:10 > 0:01:12I feel a wee bit sick!

0:01:15 > 0:01:18On leg one of the race, shy 23-year-old bursary winner Niall Boyle

0:01:18 > 0:01:23was thrown in at the deep end with 17 total strangers,

0:01:23 > 0:01:26but soon made his mark as a hard-working mechanic,

0:01:26 > 0:01:29willing to take on the most unappealing of jobs.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32It gets to a point where you're so tired, you'd sleep through anything.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Niall's shyness evaporated but so did the wind

0:01:34 > 0:01:40as the boat stalled in the dreaded doldrums and limped into Rio in last place.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03Now it's the turn of another Derry City Council bursary winner to join the race.

0:02:03 > 0:02:0922-year-old unemployed Shauna O'Neill already knows what it's like to face a challenge.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13The day the training started for the Clipper training,

0:02:13 > 0:02:16around the same couple of days as this time last year,

0:02:16 > 0:02:19I was going into the rehabilitation centre.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22She's had a lot of struggles with drink and drugs.

0:02:25 > 0:02:30This is amazing that she has been chosen. Amazing.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33As she embarks on the Chance of a lifetime,

0:02:33 > 0:02:38Shauna and her mother reflect on how she has turned her life around in a remarkable way.

0:02:40 > 0:02:44It's just so hard to see your child in so much pain and so unhappy.

0:02:46 > 0:02:51Wanting to leave. Wanting to die, pretty much.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Things just went too far.

0:02:56 > 0:03:03I don't know. I moved into Derry and I just started drinking and taking drugs basically every day

0:03:03 > 0:03:05and everything went downhill.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09I was so depressed and basically I didn't want to live any more.

0:03:10 > 0:03:15I had to get help and I went in to rehabilitation this time last year

0:03:15 > 0:03:18and everything has been getting better ever since.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21Hopefully it will keep getting better.

0:03:23 > 0:03:28I just have such a deep care and compassion for people now.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32I can really see things from other people's point of view

0:03:32 > 0:03:34and it really helped me become a better person.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41We'll see where it goes!

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Within a day of leaving Derry, Shauna lands in Brazil

0:03:55 > 0:04:00to join her fellow crew members in Rio de Janeiro.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04There are other fresh faces joining the boat for the leg to Cape Town

0:04:04 > 0:04:08and some old handers who are doing the full round the world voyage.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12Bidding farewell on the quay is Tim Hawkins, unable to sail

0:04:12 > 0:04:17after he broke his leg when a freak wave hit the boat on the way to Rio.

0:04:22 > 0:04:27Leg two is the shortest race in the round the world competition.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31With just under three weeks to cross the Atlantic Ocean to Cape Town in South Africa.

0:04:32 > 0:04:39After coming in last to Rio, the Derry-Londonderry team has everything to prove

0:04:39 > 0:04:41as their boat heads for the race start line.

0:04:44 > 0:04:45Remember safety, OK?

0:04:45 > 0:04:50Think about lines flogging and where you're standing, OK?

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Us finishing 10th in the last race,

0:05:02 > 0:05:05the first two hours are critical for us.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08It is important anyway to get ahead of the fleet,

0:05:08 > 0:05:10just to show you can do it.

0:05:13 > 0:05:18Stand by for the 10 second countdown to the start of race three

0:05:18 > 0:05:21of the Clipper Ventures Round The World Race from Rio to Cape Town.

0:05:21 > 0:05:2610, 9, 8, 7, 6,

0:05:26 > 0:05:325, 4, 3, 2, 1, start!

0:05:43 > 0:05:48The usual 18 man crew is down to 16 people on this leg.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51So it's even more important that they were work as a well oiled team

0:05:51 > 0:05:53as they jockey for a good race start,

0:05:53 > 0:05:57and avoid colliding with the many giant freight vessels on their way out.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06As they pass the beautiful headlines of Guanabara Bay,

0:06:06 > 0:06:10they know it will be their last glimpse of land for 20 days.

0:06:12 > 0:06:16As we left Edinburgh with the closest boat to us behind,

0:06:16 > 0:06:19we managed to pick up good speed and leave them.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28This is a huge race for us, we are looking to get into Cape Town

0:06:28 > 0:06:32in a good position, knowing that we are still a fast boat.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36We are looking to get back and show the rest of the fleet what we've got.

0:06:46 > 0:06:51Despite the pressure of the race start, Shauna soon settles in.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54She is gelling well with her fellow crew members.

0:06:54 > 0:06:59I think it's safe to say that I was very, very anxious about coming on the trip.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01I think that's a good sign

0:07:01 > 0:07:05because at least I know that I'm facing fears and doing it anyway.

0:07:05 > 0:07:10It's just good and it seems to be dying down a bit now.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13It's good to be finally relaxed into it and I'm here.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15I've got here and there's no going back now,

0:07:15 > 0:07:18I can just enjoy the experience.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21# At the heart of all of this strangeness

0:07:24 > 0:07:27# You are changing

0:07:27 > 0:07:31# At the heart of all of this strangeness... #

0:07:33 > 0:07:36To keep the yacht moving as fast as possible 24 hours a day,

0:07:36 > 0:07:42the crew is split into two shifts with sleep and watch duties carried out in rotations.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Shauna is on the team of watch leader John Harkin

0:07:45 > 0:07:49and it's not long before they form a bond.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52Don't grip the wheel too tight, just nice and relaxed.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Do I look that nervous?

0:07:54 > 0:07:56No, it's just better and you can get more control.

0:07:56 > 0:08:02Have a wee look at your compass and there you have it right again, so that's nice.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Doing well.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07# You're making plans for tomorrow

0:08:07 > 0:08:12# Tomorrow is no yesterday... #

0:08:12 > 0:08:16Before I came onboard, I was worried about asking questions

0:08:16 > 0:08:20because basically, I was thinking there are more experienced sailors onboard

0:08:20 > 0:08:22who have their own boats and everything,

0:08:22 > 0:08:23all with a competitive nature

0:08:23 > 0:08:26and they won't want somebody asking questions and getting in the way

0:08:26 > 0:08:28and maybe doing things slower than everyone else.

0:08:28 > 0:08:32It's coming back down so let it go up a wee bit.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35She will probably want to get up herself

0:08:35 > 0:08:39so just steer up a little bit and give her time to come up.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Just wait for the boat to correct itself

0:08:42 > 0:08:45because it's not like a car where it is instantaneous.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48I just realise now that I'm here for me

0:08:48 > 0:08:52and I want to get the best I can get out of it and I want to learn,

0:08:52 > 0:08:56so if other people aren't happy with that, that is their problem.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00# You are changing

0:09:00 > 0:09:04# At the heart of all of this strangeness... #

0:09:04 > 0:09:08All the crew members have to do their share of mother duty,

0:09:08 > 0:09:12which means cooking for the entire boat for a day.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Shauna is soon thrown in at the deep end,

0:09:14 > 0:09:17facing another almighty challenge.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20Basically I have to get up and make porridge for breakfast

0:09:20 > 0:09:23and then hang around and make lunch and dinner for everybody.

0:09:23 > 0:09:28Being on mother duty is good because you get to stay down below deck

0:09:28 > 0:09:33out of the elements for a day and stay dry basically.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37The duties include making breakfast, lunch and dinner for everybody.

0:09:38 > 0:09:43I'm a vegetarian and I only ever cook for myself and I'm not a great cook

0:09:43 > 0:09:48so I was just worried that I was not going to get the timing right

0:09:48 > 0:09:51or get the proportions right and people weren't going to like it.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55It has been fine and Mark here is really good in the kitchen

0:09:55 > 0:09:58so I just kind of follow his lead and we're a good team

0:09:58 > 0:10:03so we seem to get it done and people seem happy with what we produce, thank God.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07I'm really looking forward to a full night sleep.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11My watch doesn't start until two tomorrow so that'll be great,

0:10:11 > 0:10:14I can have a lot of sleep.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24A few days into the race and everything is going well.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27The weather is in their favour, the boat is making good speed

0:10:27 > 0:10:33and is on target to come in amongst the top three winning boats in Cape Town.

0:10:33 > 0:10:39But there's no room for complacency with competing boats chasing them down hard.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44Strategy-wise is all working so far, so good.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48We're in fourth position at the moment.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52We can definitely win third place but we can also lose fourth.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56Singapore are hot on our heels and I will be very disappointed

0:10:56 > 0:10:58if we finish below top five in this.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59Very disappointed.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04But Mark's optimism takes a dive

0:11:04 > 0:11:09when the boat suddenly develops a serious technical problem.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12We've just been running the water maker

0:11:12 > 0:11:16and we noticed a strange noise from it. It sounds like it's running dry.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20We stopped the water maker straightaway,

0:11:20 > 0:11:22we stopped the generator also which was running

0:11:22 > 0:11:25and now we are going to isolate the supply,

0:11:25 > 0:11:30take it part and make sure it's not brought up any seaweed or anything like that.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32OK, that's clear.

0:11:32 > 0:11:36Skipper Mark and his number two watch leader, Graham,

0:11:36 > 0:11:40are trained engineers, and know they must solve the problem

0:11:40 > 0:11:43before the situation gets really serious.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46We talk a lot about consumption of water in life rafts

0:11:46 > 0:11:49and what happens to people if you don't get water.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52People do, quite literally, go mad.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56They get to the point where they will kill for water.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59Which is why I'm keeping hold of this screwdriver.

0:11:59 > 0:12:06If anybody comes near my water bottles, you included, and you!

0:12:08 > 0:12:11But as night falls, they are no nearer a solution.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14The boat is two weeks away from Cape Town

0:12:14 > 0:12:17and they only have three days of drinking water left.

0:12:20 > 0:12:24It is an anxious time with everyone aware that they will have to go on rations

0:12:24 > 0:12:28if the water maker isn't repaired very soon.

0:12:30 > 0:12:36The distraction also means they are in danger of sliding down the race leaderboard.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49John managed to get in there, tinker about with it

0:12:49 > 0:12:52and we have switched the water maker back on and it is actually pumping water now.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Fingers crossed we have got it back

0:12:54 > 0:12:57because that would be a pretty serious thing if we lost it.

0:12:59 > 0:13:04With the water crisis hopefully solved, the crew concentrates once more

0:13:04 > 0:13:08on recovering their place near the top of the race leaderboard.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13- How are we doing? - Doing good, still fourth.

0:13:15 > 0:13:21- We pulled up slightly, only a couple of miles.- Every mile counts!

0:13:21 > 0:13:2363, so we took three miles.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27That is good, yeah.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31This is the finish, 1,096.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49Only a week after leaving her home town of Derry,

0:13:49 > 0:13:54Shauna has her routine well in hand and her confidence couldn't be higher

0:13:54 > 0:13:59as she squeezes every second of pleasure from her Atlantic adventure.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02I have thermal leggings, two pairs of socks, one pair of trousers.

0:14:02 > 0:14:08Two tops, three jackets and then my lifejacket.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11I'll be wearing two hats as well for extra measure!

0:14:14 > 0:14:19Between 135 and 140 would be the best.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25My favourite part of the sailing experience is probably being helm man.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Once you get into a zone, it just feels great,

0:14:31 > 0:14:34you feel really in control.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36It is just amazing to be able to sail a 68 foot yacht

0:14:36 > 0:14:38in the middle of the south Atlantic.

0:14:40 > 0:14:44The people actually put that responsibility on me, to let me do it.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47MUSIC: "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence And The Machine

0:15:24 > 0:15:27Fourth position. We're doing really well. By definition,

0:15:27 > 0:15:31we've been the fastest boat for the last 12 hours, pretty much.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Of course, the other boats coming behind,

0:15:33 > 0:15:37they could get tremendous conditions and just eclipse that.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41But at the moment I think we're looking pretty good.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44It's well done, basically, for everybody.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47It's obviously been good trim, good course. We've made

0:15:47 > 0:15:50the right decisions tactically, the weather's good for us.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Let's get it in, guys.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Apart from learning sailing skills onboard,

0:16:01 > 0:16:04I'm really learning a lot of personal skills and people skills.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07I mean, we've got 15 people onboard that I've never met before.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10You've got a lot of personalities there.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13It's been interesting, like, seeing how everybody interacts

0:16:13 > 0:16:16and how conflicts are resolved onboard

0:16:16 > 0:16:18because you can't have any negativity or any tension

0:16:18 > 0:16:21because it would just destroy the boat atmosphere.

0:16:23 > 0:16:27You have moments where I might be just sitting looking at the horizon

0:16:27 > 0:16:28and just listening to the waves,

0:16:28 > 0:16:32and I just get completely blown away by the whole thing.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Just knowing how far away I am from land,

0:16:35 > 0:16:38and it's just really liberating, really. It's a great feeling.

0:16:38 > 0:16:43It's overpowering, sometimes. You get really emotional. But it's good.

0:16:46 > 0:16:51At the minute, we're tacked, so the boat is keeled over, as you can see.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54My bunk is a higher bunk and have to try and climb into it,

0:16:54 > 0:16:57which is quite difficult. I'll show you.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01It's a bit of a mission.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23But during the night, the wind builds

0:17:23 > 0:17:28and the boat's main spinnaker is in danger of ripping apart.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32A disaster that has to be avoided at all costs.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34Shauna's break is short-lived,

0:17:34 > 0:17:39as all hands are called on deck to deal with the emergency.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41The sails on the boat are like gears.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44You set up the boat for a certain strength of wind,

0:17:44 > 0:17:47so you gear the sails towards that.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50If the wind increases by 15 or 20 knots,

0:17:50 > 0:17:55which can happen in 20 minutes, and it's massively overpowered.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57The boat is massively out of control.

0:18:04 > 0:18:08And that's the stage when you have to send up six amateur people.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11It usually always happens in the middle of the night.

0:18:11 > 0:18:15If you were hit with one of those, it could cause serious injury.

0:18:15 > 0:18:20It would be a horrendous thing to have to deal with.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25It was a very, very good evolution for us.

0:18:25 > 0:18:29Everybody went to their stations, did all the different jobs,

0:18:29 > 0:18:31we got the spinnaker down very, very quickly.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34We had to derig the spinnaker pole and put it back on the deck.

0:18:34 > 0:18:38And then within 30 minutes of making the call, we'd done all that,

0:18:38 > 0:18:42plus we'd got a Yankee 1 headsail up, a staysail up,

0:18:42 > 0:18:45and we were back up to race speed.

0:19:03 > 0:19:08Shauna's hard work, her positivity and her generosity as a team player

0:19:08 > 0:19:09have not gone unnoticed.

0:19:11 > 0:19:16Shauna has done really well. I mean, and she has been supportive.

0:19:16 > 0:19:17She's been supportive to me.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20There was a day when the wind was very heavy

0:19:20 > 0:19:24and it was my day to do bilges and because the weather was rough

0:19:24 > 0:19:25I had done a lot of time in the helm.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28And I suppose she recognised I was tired

0:19:28 > 0:19:30and she said, "John, I'll do your bilges for you."

0:19:30 > 0:19:33And I thought that was a very kind and considerate thing

0:19:33 > 0:19:35because doing bilges isn't a pleasant job.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38And she's that sort of girl, you know, she's thoughtful

0:19:38 > 0:19:40and she's not afraid to do dirty work or get mucky.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44It's difficult working at this angle.

0:19:44 > 0:19:48It's very hot down here as well with the engines running.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51It's quite tough.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54She has a lot of self-doubt about herself,

0:19:54 > 0:19:57but God, she must look on this journey

0:19:57 > 0:20:00and see the ability she has and the ability that's within her.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03I mean, that girl can do anything she'll put her mind to it,

0:20:03 > 0:20:05you know, after doing this.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08She's well capable of doing anything she puts her mind to.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17With only 300 miles to go to Cape Town,

0:20:17 > 0:20:20the boats are packed close together

0:20:20 > 0:20:23with just a few miles separating them.

0:20:23 > 0:20:27Singapore, boat behind. Oh!

0:20:27 > 0:20:3042 miles, they've gained.

0:20:30 > 0:20:34Mark takes a gamble and steers a more northerly route,

0:20:34 > 0:20:37hoping to shake off the Singapore boat.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40Singapore are doing really well.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42But will his gamble pay off?

0:20:49 > 0:20:53Day 18, OK? Position, we've slipped down to fifth.

0:20:53 > 0:20:57Singapore have done the dirty on us and taken our fourth position.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00We've got 191 miles to run at the moment.

0:21:00 > 0:21:04So we are going to be stuck here until midnight at least.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Wind is not going to start filling in before then.

0:21:09 > 0:21:14We have 190 miles to go, and it will be the boat now

0:21:14 > 0:21:18between us and Singapore - that's the main boat we're concerned about

0:21:18 > 0:21:21to see who gets the wind first.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24Certainly nine miles we can catch up in a matter of hours

0:21:24 > 0:21:26if we get the wind first.

0:21:26 > 0:21:32The race isn't over, and the next 24 hours will decide that.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35All is not lost.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37As night falls, Mark and John plot their strategy

0:21:37 > 0:21:40to try and regain their coveted fourth position.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43But as they enter the shallow waters of Cape Town port,

0:21:43 > 0:21:47they learned that Qingdao has also overtaken them

0:21:47 > 0:21:50and pushed them back further to sixth position.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53But they're determined not to give up.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58So, as we approach the shore now, the wind has got very light and fickle.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01One boat is getting a puff of breeze and pushing forward

0:22:01 > 0:22:02and then the other boat now.

0:22:02 > 0:22:06Now, at the minute, we've got breeze and we're actually pushing.

0:22:06 > 0:22:10This boat beside us is dead in the water. But they could lift up.

0:22:14 > 0:22:19Unbelievable. After 3,000 miles, over 3,000 miles, it's come to this.

0:22:19 > 0:22:24It's nearly like inshore racing around a buoy.

0:22:24 > 0:22:29Four or five boats fighting now for this fifth place.

0:22:32 > 0:22:36After 19 days at sea without seeing another boat,

0:22:36 > 0:22:38the crew of the Derry-Londonderry

0:22:38 > 0:22:42find themselves in an agonising last battle with the Qingdao boat,

0:22:42 > 0:22:45in an attempt to recover fifth place.

0:22:51 > 0:22:55We need to get the main down ASAP, all right?

0:23:17 > 0:23:21As they sail into the Victoria and Albert Port in Cape Town,

0:23:21 > 0:23:24the crew of the Derry-Londonderry can hold their heads high

0:23:24 > 0:23:26after a job well done.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32We just got the bow of the boat ahead of them

0:23:32 > 0:23:35and once we got the bow of the boat ahead, we took their wind.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38And then we just powered through them and they just dropped back.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40You know, 100 yards to the finish

0:23:40 > 0:23:45and we clenched fifth place from sixth at the finish,

0:23:45 > 0:23:47which was very, very satisfying.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52My mum has just text and she's waiting at the port,

0:23:52 > 0:23:55so it's amazing. I'm so excited to see her.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58I didn't think she'd be here because it's so early in the morning.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00So I'm just so happy right now.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12CHEERING

0:24:28 > 0:24:31And after 21 days at sea,

0:24:31 > 0:24:34Shauna can't wait to be reunited with her mother.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54My baby! SHE LAUGHS

0:25:01 > 0:25:02We've won!

0:25:07 > 0:25:10After her fantastic accomplishment,

0:25:10 > 0:25:15Shauna takes a few days to enjoy a well-earned holiday with her mother

0:25:15 > 0:25:18and to reflect on the significant change she has made her life.

0:25:18 > 0:25:22Your sea legs will work well for you on this!

0:25:25 > 0:25:27Amazing. Like, I really, really loved it.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29I thought that I was going to hate it,

0:25:29 > 0:25:31I thought I'd be kissing the ground when I got off in Cape Town,

0:25:31 > 0:25:34but I actually could have stayed on the boat longer.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36I really enjoyed it. Like, I just really relaxed into it.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Before I went away, I was just so nervous that I wasn't going to be

0:25:39 > 0:25:42good enough and that I would just be getting in the way.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45I didn't want people to think I was just a passenger on the boat

0:25:45 > 0:25:46freeloading.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50I hope it makes Shauna feel proud of herself

0:25:50 > 0:25:54and realise how amazing she is.

0:25:54 > 0:25:59And she'll move on to greater and better things,

0:25:59 > 0:26:02but please not so scary! For her mother.

0:26:13 > 0:26:17Right, good riddance. Thank God to get rid of you!

0:26:17 > 0:26:19- HE LAUGHS - Cut, cut, cut!

0:26:19 > 0:26:22That's terrible. You're going to miss me really, aren't you?

0:26:22 > 0:26:25- I really am going to miss you. - The Derry people on the boat.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Yeah, there's nobody now from Derry.

0:26:34 > 0:26:38The time has come for the final bursary winner to take up the baton

0:26:38 > 0:26:42and crew the Derry-Londonderry Clipper to its home port.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45THEY SING "DRUNKEN SAILOR"

0:26:45 > 0:26:4925-year-old unemployed schoolteacher Pod McConway

0:26:49 > 0:26:53is getting a rousing send-off from his family and friends.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56He's heading off next week. What can we say?

0:26:56 > 0:26:59That's going to have to do him for three weeks.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02THEY LAUGH

0:27:02 > 0:27:05I just hope everything goes well, Padraig. I'm sure it will

0:27:05 > 0:27:08and it'll be a great occasion for Derry and for the family.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10- And your bank balance!- Aye.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13THEY LAUGH

0:27:13 > 0:27:16He won't have a shower for four or five weeks.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18Sure! It wouldn't be like him!

0:27:18 > 0:27:21THEY LAUGH

0:27:28 > 0:27:31It's just something new and challenging that I want to do.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33I want to try my hand at everything,

0:27:33 > 0:27:36you know, something different that I've never experienced before.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42I guess 23 kilos, that's all I'm allowed.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45Right. Bag. Yeah.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48A wee bit worried.

0:27:48 > 0:27:53But you also have to just let him go and do it, you know.

0:27:53 > 0:27:54And enjoy it.
