Yesterday’s distinctly military feel to the PSP Southampton Boat Show continued with the Forces Windsurfing Challenge, which kicked off below the warship.
The event involves members of all three forces windsurfing around the Isle of Wight, a distance of about 100 miles, to raise money for Help for Heroes and each service’s benevolent fund.
