A YACHT club taster session has been launched to get people out on the water.
Walton and Frinton Yacht Club has organised the special event for anyone interested in joining up or giving sailing a go.
It has been set up as part of the Royal Yachting Association’s Push the Boat Out scheme, between 11am-2pm on Saturday.
A club spokesman said: “With high water at 12.30pm the club will have dinghies and powerboats ready for our senior trainers to give visitors a taste of the activities and training available.
“The club bar and dining room will be open for refreshments and all visitors are welcome.
“We have a very strong active membership with members taking part in local cruising, long distance cruising, yacht racing, dinghy racing, kayaking and canoeing, as well as just 'messing about in boats'.
“No booking is necessary, just turn up on the day and bring some appropriate clothing that might get wet!”
