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.

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.
