BBC Radio Solent - H2O Podcast, Yarmouth Old Gaffers festival

Tracey Clarke takes H2O to the Yarmouth Old Gaffers festival.

Tracey Clarke is at the Old Gaffers festival in Yarmouth, presenting the show from on board the 1903 gaffer "Kelpie".

She hears from the organisers of the annual festival and from the Old Gaffers Association about why these boats are so special. And Yarmouth's new harbour master Tim Adams talks about his first six months in the job.

Away from Yarmouth, Shelley Jory-Leigh reports from the first round of the powerboat P1 championship in Yorkshire and the both of the south's skippers in the Volvo Ocean Race reflect on their final ocean crossing.

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.
