FROM tiny dinghies to multimillion pound yachts and Hollywood tall ships, Mayflower Park is filled to the rafters with the best things the marine industry has to offer.

The 46th PSP Southampton Boat Show was launched today when Matt Baker left the sofa of The One show to help Olympic sailor Iain Percy OBE sail tall ship Phoenix into the marina.

The world famous replica tall ship is known for appearing in films including Ridley Scott's 1492 Conquest of Paradise and Master and Commander.

Claudia Winkleman was also there to add some Strictly sparkle when she and Formula 1's Eddie Jordan opened Sunseeker's stand and looked around a £3.88 million yacht.

Although, she admitted she wouldn't be spending her earnings on a boat after taking over from Bruce Forsyth on the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing.

Thousands have already poured into the show grounds to soak up the atmosphere and even more are expected to come on board over the next eight days, with an expected total of 120,000 visitors.
