Wilson cruised into the Show on board Mike Golding’s ECOVER 3 yacht
to launch celebrations for the 40th Show.
The PSP Southampton Boat Show, in association
with ITV Meridian, will run until the 21 September in Mayflower

– Powered by Fairline by boating and TV legends from the last four
decades including Sir Robin Knox Johnston, Kate O’Mara, Lady Pippa

Golding’s ECOVER 3 yacht was a real high point for us at National
