London 2012 Paralympic Games

Sir Robin Knox-Johnston & Shelley Jory-Leigh look ahead to London 2012 Paralympic Sailing.

The Solent is famous for its rich maritime heritage and the H2O Show covers all aspects of life on the water - leisure, business and sport. Whether you're a sailing professional or just like watching the boats go by on the Solent, the programme will have something to appeal to you.

This week we look ahead to the Paralympic sailing events which start in Weymouth & Portland this weekend.

We hear from each of the six competitors from Paralympic Team GB, Geoff Holt MBE talks about the selection process for the sailors and 大象传媒 Radio Solent鈥檚 Laurence Herdman on the team鈥檚 chances.

We'll also hear from a sailor who's hoping to be on the start line for the Vendee Globe in a couple of months and find out how sail and power are working together in harmony on the other side of the world.

Plus there鈥檚 a roundup of what's happening across the rest of the Solent region.

The H2O Show is also available as a podcast and you can get news and features from the programme on Facebook and via Twitter.

Please note that for the duration of the Paralympic Games all of the existing 'Listen Live' services on bbc.co.uk will be made UK-only - users outside of the UK will receive looped audio explaining that for rights reasons the content cannot be played. This is due to rights commitments.
