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.
