A Paralympian is among those who will speak at this autumn's Southampton International Boat Show.
The Foredeck Stage promises an enriching experience for maritime enthusiasts, with an exciting line-up of speakers.
Sponsored by Practical Boat Owner and Yachting Monthly, the stage will host legends such as four-time Paralympian and Triple World Champion Hannah Stodel, and Peter Poland, former Director of Hunter Boats of Essex.
Hannah won gold in the mixed sonar class at the 2005, 2006 and 2015 Disabled World Championships.
Topics discussed will range from inclusivity in boating and the evolution of yacht design, to the future of boating technology.
The event is scheduled to run from September 13-22.
Mark Ring, head of events, said: "The Foredeck Stage has always been a hub of inspiration and learning at the Southampton International Boat Show.
"It's an opportunity for our visitors to gain invaluable insights, meet industry icons, and, most importantly, feel inspired by the world of boating."
