There will be an opportunity to take to the sea and try sailing at an upcoming open day.
Banff Sailing Club is holding the event at the town’s harbour marina on Saturday, May 16.
The open day will take place from 10am-4pm and those interested in trying sailing can meet at the group’s clubhouse, which is across from the harbour.
A Banff Sailing Club spokesperson said: “At this event our experienced skippers and sailors will be taking out anyone interested in sailing on the club boats and deliver a taster session.
“On shore there will be hot and cold food, tea, coffee and cake provided in our clubhouse at Banff harbour.”
Anyone who wants to find out more about the taster sessions can email secretary@banffsailingclub.co.uk or message the club on Facebook.
Banff Sailing Club was founded in 1975 by a group of local enthusiasts who had a love of sailing and the sea.
Today, it has more than 70 members and is a vital part of keeping the sailing community and the activity alive in Aberdeenshire.
The club has two keelboats, the 707s, which are ideal for complete beginners or individuals coming from dinghy sailing.
It offers membership to sailboat and motorboat owners and to enthusiasts who can learn how to sail on the club boats and eventually participate in the many events such as races, regattas and cruises.
