A teenager sailed around the Isle  of Wight in aid of two maritime charities. 

Nestor Montagu, 17, embarked on a 55-nautical mile journey to raise money for the RNLI and Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

Nestor sailed in a Laser Dinghy and hit his target of £2,000, which will be split equally between the two charities. 

He set off at 6.20am from Bembridge, dropping behind schedule between Ventnor and the Needles, before picking back up around Cowes thanks to two knots of tide.

Unfortunately, a shift of wind led to Nestor only travelling 200m in an hour and a half, and having to be towed for half an hour.

He then sailed from St Helens Fort back into Bembridge, completing 13 hours on the water.

Nestor said he would try the challenge again, or even attempt something bigger.
