The Dovestone open day was part of the Royal Yachting Association's Discover Sailing initiative
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.
