March 6, 2001
Jeremy Irons swapped acting for sailing last week as he joined the crew of LG Flatron for the Wellington to Sydney leg of the BT Global Challenge Round the World Yacht Race. The actor (pictured here taking a nap before setting sail) has some sailing experience, but confessed: "It's going to be a steep learning curve. I'm expecting the worst, but I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised." With luggage space at a premium, his luxury item was his cigarettes.
