Meridian’s new water-sports programme, Big Blue, returned to the screens last Sunday.

Whether it’s jet-skiing, water-skiing, motor-boating, sailing or surfing Big Blue will have something to entice everyone off the water and into the living room this season to watch water action on the screen.

This weeks programme features the CNA Maritime London to Paris Rowing Challenge, Offshore Clothing Test and coverage of the Southern Go Boating Weekend.

In future weeks there are plenty of thrills and spills with some 150mph powerboats when Big Blue follows reigning Class 1 world Champion Steve Curtis from Hamble as he travels from Europe to the Middle East defending his title; and some very fast Sailing in crazy contraptions at Weymouth Speed Week later this year.
