Summary
COI synopsis: Ever since Sir Francis Drake was knighted, nearly 400 years ago, Britain has honoured its sailors. Our reporter talks to the most recent to receive Royal recognition - Dame Naomi James, who recently sailed the world single-handed. They meet at this year’s Boat Show, the mammoth trade exhibition that’s held in London every year to show the rest of the world what the industry has to offer.
