Former TV magician Paul Daniels bought a Mark II ClamBoat at the Earl’s Court Boat Show….to take out his grandchildren.

He said of the 4.2m sailing dinghy: ‘It is easy to stow away. I live on the River Thames and my grandchildren, nephews and nieces are going to love this.’

Daniels’ wife Debbie McGee was also with him when he bought the boat.
