Young skipper for new Lowestoft fishing boat

Available for over a year

For decades the inshore fishing fleet has been in decline on the East Coast, but this week there's been some good news from the port of Lowestoft. A fishing family, The Wightmans, have invested hundreds of thousands of pounds on a new boat. It's thought that the Emma Claire is the first new fishing boat to come to the port for around 20 years and next week, she'll go out to sea with a very young skipper at the helm. Guy Campbell has more.
