America's Cup World Series

Sir Robin Knox-Johnston and Shelley Jory Leigh from the America's Cup World Series in Portsmouth.

The America’s Cup is the world’s oldest sporting trophy. First awarded following a race around the Isle of Wight in 1851, Great Britain has never won the trophy.

Teams from all over the world will compete for the right to challenge Oracle Team USA to claim the trophy. Portsmouth hosts the first event in the 35th America’s Cup competition which will culminate in the final in Bermuda in 2017.

Sir Robin Knox-Johnston and Shelley Jory-Leigh present H2O from Portsmouth as this weekend's event draws to a premature close.

The Solent is famous for its rich maritime heritage and H2O 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.

H2O is also available as a podcast.
