The Sailing Club: Episode 316

Southport Sailing Club, like many others around the UK, is a fun place to be a member where people enjoy the sailing and the social side which comes as part of the club. But in the story this week, Paul Longworth - the Commodore of the club - is increasingly cruel to his wife Tina, and openly nasty about her at the sailing club and with friends at work.

On the day he celebrated his 37th birthday at the sailing club, Tina was found dead at their home, she was just 29. Had Tina taken her own life?
