“In 1990, Tracy Edwards triumphantly brought home the first all-female Whitbread Round the World Race on yacht ‘Maiden’ to our Ocean Village Marina.

Run in conjunction with Ocean Youth Trust (South), the awards provide 12 spaces on board the sail training vessel ‘Prolific’ and since their inception over 30 years ago, 140 young people have experienced a life-changing voyage on board.

Sustainability and care for the environment are now central to MDL’s future plans as it aims to become the UK’s most sustainable marina operator. “We’ve seen lots of positive change over the last 50 years, initially with the acquisition and development of our marinas to the expansion of our shorebased leisure offering,” concluded Michael.

“Bryan’s experience in the marine industry, sales expertise and knowledge of our product range will enable us to offer our bespoke water access systems across a greater geographical area and support our busy sales and engineering teams.”
