A day of perfect summer weather was the backdrop for a masterclass in catamaran training.
Nearly 30 students from the Marconi Sailing Club, Steeple, took part in the Cat Training Day earlier this month.
The day started with an onshore briefing, a dry-capsize demonstration and general safety considerations before everyone got rigged and headed on to the water.
Participants ranged from complete novices to competitors in national competitions.
