Sun, sails, and smiles - it's a perfect day on the water!

Date published: 12 May 2025


Dovestone Sailing Club has hosted its annual Open Day.

It was part of the Royal Yachting Association's (RYA) Discover Sailing initiative.

For just £10, participants tried sailing with an experienced helm for 30 minutes then returned to the club house for light refreshments.

The weather on the day was perfect sunshine and a gentle breeze.

Over 60 people enjoyed getting out on the water and several plan to take it further by taking an RYA training course at the club or by becoming a full member.

Take a look at the website: dovestonesc.org.uk for more pictures from the day and a short video.
