Gypsy Moth IV and seasickness

Record-breaking yachtsman Sir Robin Knox-Johnston with all aspects of life on the water.

Sir Robin Knox-Johnston and Shelley Jory-Leigh chat with the organisers of the Women’s Keelboat Championships taking place in The Solent and look ahead to the celebrations to mark 150 years of a lifeboat in Lyme Regis.

In the Ferries of the South series, our reporter Laura Ancell steps on board the historical Hamble ferry, and we hear from a pharmacist about ways to combat seasickness.

The 44th biannual Fastnet race starts next month and we start a series focussing on some of the competitors taking part in the world famous race.

Hear how reporter Laurence Herdman fared as he takes part in an intensive course learning to sail and Sir Robin chats with David Seidman about his book Sailing: A Beginner’s Guide.

We hear from some of the local skippers as the start of the Clipper 11/12 race looms and there’s some good news about the fate of Sir Francis Chichester’s Gipsy Moth IV.

And Sarah Farmer has the detailed weekend sailing forecast.

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.

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