If you learned to sail as a child, or if you have children or grandchildren who sail then you will know about the AB sailing dinghy. The simple little boat was first designed and built in Poole in 1958 and this year it's celebrating its 60th anniversary. Julian Haigh who by day is Lieutenant Commander in the Royal Navy, is coordinating the 60th celebrations and talks to Steve Harris about the history and significance of this humble little boat.
