David Dimbleby sails the south-west coastline of England, along the shores of Devon and Cornwall, in his own sailing boat, Rocket. He explores the region’s deep and varied maritime history, art and architecture. Caught up in stormy weather, he makes it to safety in the nick of time, to tell the story of Sir Francis Drake and a fantastic array of adventurers, explorers, pirates and smugglers.
