The event attracted enthusiasts from across the North to come and try their hand at sailing around Warley Moor reservoir on the tops above Wainstalls.

Chief Instructor, Sue Lamb, said: “It was a wonderful day with very light winds which was brilliant. It was also a very warm day too. Around 80 people turned up and a couple of them inquired about joining.”

John Midgley tweeted: “Fantastic open day at Halifax Sailing Club. Loads of people got out there and had a go.”
