It’s Cowes Week, and we’re looking back at the world’s greatest sailing regatta. Sir Ben Ainslie tells us about the 1851 trust – Cowes Week’s official charity, Tracy Edwards talks about her 1989 Whitbread race, what happened next and the restoration of Maiden. We’ll hear from some of the young sailors taking part in the regatta, and we find out from title sponsor Lendy why they put their name to this iconic event. Plus we go for a spin with some of the crew of Akzo Nobel, as they look back on their Volvo Ocean Race campaign. Podcast produced and presented by Neil Sackley. email: [email protected].
