Jeremy Irons’s “Willing Lass”

Jeremy Irons owns a sailboat named Willing Lass.

From the blog Another Day in Triage by Jayne Johnson:

“Our next stop on the journey was Hegarty Boatyard where Cerri’s partner, John, works. The yard is world famous for the restoration work they do on large wooden ships. People come from around the world to attend workshops at the boatyard. Currently they are working on the Ilen (eye-len). They also work on boats for fisherman and the like.

John personally built a sail boat for Jeremy Irons which is called “Willing Lass.” Yes, THE Jeremy Irons. If you are interested in learning more about the Ilen restoration/Hegarty Boatyard, here’s a link: Ilen Restoration at Hegarty Boatyard in Baltimore, Co. Cork, Ireland
