10th century boat due to visit Island

Journey begins in Brittany and visits Celtic nations along the way

A group of Breton sailors are due to visit the Isle of Man this summer in a 10th century boat guided by just the sun and wind.

It's part of a journey they're making, which begins in Brittany and goes to the North Sea taking in the Celtic nations along the way.

The vessel, called the Brioc, is a replica built almost twenty-five years ago but based on a design used over a thousand years ago.

By law, the boat has to have modern navigation equipment on board but will only be used in the case of emergency.
