Sienna Anderson had been covering the race involving nearly 1.200 boats when the dolphins appeared off the south of the Isle of Wight.

Sienna said: "I have been out so many times in the hope of seeing one or two, but this was a pod of 20 plus, that cruised with us for over an hour.

"It was just breathtaking, so beautiful."
