Pierre Tester's amusing film from 1979 looks at the newly opened Brighton Marina - one of the South Coast's biggest construction projects at that time. It opens with John Little speaking to camera against a backdrop of yachts and boats at their berths and moving about in the marina. A silly man pulling on a rope punctuates the narrative, with apologies from the film maker. After reviewing the entire marina, its locks and its lighthouse the film ends with a visual pun.
