    Bonus edition. Paul Wager from New Zealand will inspire you with his sailing exploits as a paraplegic and his work with Sailability

    Joining podcaster Ceri Hurford-Jones is Paul Wager from Auckland, New Zealand. Paul loves nothing more than tearing around the cans on a carbon mini transat prototype boat, which he says is a lot of fun, although he has yet to get anyone else to jump on board with him!  Many years ago Paul used to be a boat builder, until he became a paraplegic. At this point his late wife encouraged him to get reconnected with the water through Sailability of which he is now a trustee and huge supporter. Plus he has some big ambitions looking to be fulfilled……..  For more on his prototype boat just click here https://www.facebook.com/theblackhornet/
