As Europe’s biggest commercial regatta takes place in The Solent, hear how the Little Britain Challenge Cup has developed since 1988.

The Royal Yachting Association have launched their Sail for Gold programme, aimed at getting sailing clubs and groups involved with the 2012 Olympic Games.

Sir Robin Knox-Johnston is in conversation with Robin Aisher.

Tracey and Geoff meet members of the Portsmouth unit of the Maritime Volunteer Service and find out that paddle steamer Waverley’s days may be numbered.
