About
2 in a boat brings you the sailing and travel world of Suzanne and Andrew on their aged yacht Crystelle Venture. Join them as they prepare for their longest sail yet, from Dartmouth, UK to St Petersburg, Russia. Across the North Sea and around the Baltic this summer, a round trip of about 3000 nautical miles. The novice and the old salt. All the gear and no idea? What on earth (or on water) could go wrong...?
