FRESH from sailing around the south coast of England for ITV1’s recent All At Sea series, Dawn Porter and Nick Hancock will sail in to the city to officially open this year’s PSP Southampton Boat Show.

Taking advantage of their new found sea legs, Dawn and Nick will arrive separately into the Show’s marina on Friday, September 10 at 10.45am.

One will arrive aboard an original Second World War Royal Navy gun boat, while the other will make their entrance on a Second World War RAF high speed rescue launch.

The Royal Navy gun boat was involved in countering the German E boat roads on allied shipping and attacking German convoys in the North Sea and the Channel.

The historic RAF boat was originally used to recover pilots during the Battle of Britain, which took place 70 years ago this year.

Joining the Battle of Britain commemorations, an original Grace Spitfire ML 407 will fly above the gun boat as it approaches the show marina, performing a spectacular demonstration over the Solent.

All At Sea saw Dawn and Nick make the journey from Cornwall to Kent by sea in a variety of vessels, stopping off to see the sights along the way.

Guided by each boat’s crew, they experienced life at sea aboard a luxury yacht, a 1930s motor torpedo boat, a pirate ship and a fishing trawler, taking in the hidden gems of the English coast, which can only be appreciated from the water.

After officially declaring the show open, Dawn and Nick will take part in a Q&A session
