I've just received the following from the WheelyBoat trust, always interesting to see how other centers are using WheelyBoats - I'm not sure how long the segment will be but it might be of interest.
Begin
This Sunday’s Countryfile on BBC One will feature the Coulam Wheelyboat V20 on a trial run at North Wales Sailability on Anglesey where one of our new Coulam Wheelyboat V17s will be delivered later in the year. Our PR company, Firebird PR, secured the prime-time slot when they approached the programme’s producers in December with an idea for a feature. We are working with North Wales Sailability to fund a V17 for the group and a larger V24 is planned next year. Presenter, Steve Brown, had great fun helming the V20, his first time at the wheel of a powerboat, and some stunning footage was taken of the V20 in action. The programme shows how a Wheelyboat would enhance the activities of the Sailability group, broaden members’ experiences on the water and make it so much easier and speedier to board and disembark via the bow door. Filming took place amid a busy Sailability session and, needless to say, everybody attending is excited about the prospect of being on the telly!
Please tune in at 7pm on BBC One to find out more and tweet along using @BBCCountryfile and @WheelyboatTrust.
