Jazz Turner's Project FEAR, becoming the first wheelchair user to complete a solo, non-stop, and unassisted circumnavigation of the UK and Ireland, has inspired many, and raised vital funds for Newhaven & Seaford Sailability which will allow many more to experience the freedom which sailing has given her.

I travelled to Brighton Marina to catch up with Jazz, talking about her own sailing, the challenges she faced during the circumnavigation, how the money raised will be used, and a glimpse of her future projects!
