Previewing Cowes Week

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

Sir Robin Knox-Johnston and Shelley Jory-Leigh reflect all life on the water in the south.

The 44th biannual Fastnet race starts later month from Cowes and we hear from Ken Newman who is taking part in his 27th race.

Also this week, what do you do with your out of date or spent marine flares? Sir Robin hears how to dispose of them safely and responsibly from David Welch of Ramora UK .

Away from Cowes, we hear about Parkstone Yacht Club’s youth week and we profile windsurfer Nick Dempsey in our Olympic Dreams series.

There’s a review of last weekend’s P1 powerboat championship in Hull 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.
