  • Boat Radio - Russell Currie, Fairline MD on 50 years of the marque

    To mark 50 years of the Fairline brand, the British boat-maker gathered fifty of its best vessels in Boat Radio’s home harbour, the magnificent Port de Sóller, and threw a spectacular party.

    There was music, there was food, there was glamour in abundance and there was new managing director, Russell Currie, who kindly gave us a huge amount of his time despite being under pressure to make a presentation and shake the hand of everyone in attendance.
    Oh, and there was a helicopter. The photographs accompanying this programme were taken on the day, just off Mallorca’s spectacular north coast.

  • Boat Radio - Dr Sergio Ruiz Halpern, Seabin Project

He chatted to Dawn MacPhee about the project.

  • Boat Radio - The Voyage of Southern Cross

    Howard Rice’s original intention was to sail a tiny boat around Tierra del Fuego. His plans have now increased in scope and he’ll be taking his home built SCAMP, Southern Cross, on a series of voyages in various seas, lakes and rivers around the world, connecting with schools as he goes. It is a wonderful and inspiration project worthy of everyone’s attention.

    But the first of the voyages ended prematurely and could easily have cost Howard his life. It certainly very nearly cost him his vessel. In fact, were it not for a remarkable chance encounter, Southern Cross might never have returned.
    This is a story of courage, kindness and coincidence.
    This is amazing.
