Solo sailor Adrian Flanagan, 46, who set off from the Solent in 2005 to attempt the first ‘vertical’ single-handed circumnavigation in his Trireme 39 stainless steel sloop, Barrabas, will be appearing at the Earls Court Boat Show this year on Press and Preview Day (30th November – 12am to 7pm).

He will be part of the opening ceremony hosted by rugby player Kenny Logan and his wife TV presenter Gabby Logan and then will be interviewed on the main stage by Katie Derham in the shows ‘Great Explorers’ event.
