Sailing Times

Another day at the ten-day 50th anniversary boating festival, the YachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show already formally opened at the weekend by sailing legend, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, and TV environmentalist, Miranda Krestovnikoff.

Back in 1969, in the same year of the first Boat Show, the sailing world
celebrated Sir Robin Knox-Johnston becoming the first person to sail solo nonstop around the world. Since then, Sir Robin has been an iconic face both at the Show and in the wider sailing community.

Mind you, there is plenty to interest sailing fans both on the water and shore in the waterfront Mayflower Park.
