A passionate sailor has made an emotional return to the water more than 75 years after her maiden voyage.
Pamela Goodman first took up sailing at the age of just 10 and spent 20 years as a member of Horning Sailing Club.
With the help of staff at Brooklands care home in Norwich, where she now lives, and the Nancy Oldfield Trust she was able to sail once more.
She was taken in one of the charity's motor cruisers from its base at Neatishead onto nearby Barton Broad, before going for a sail in one of its Yeomans, Karen B.
It was the same class of boat as her own, Solitaire, which she raced regularly at Horning.
"The whole day was like stepping back into my youth," she said.
"It meant the world to be able to return to the water, and it was lovely to see some of my old sailing friends, especially Jeremy Husting who helped to arrange it.
“I used to love racing. When you get the wind behind you, you sit on the boat in front and then nip round them and steal their wind and that’s how you win.
"Anyone can learn to sail - and it is so joyous to have the wind in your hair and feel the spray against your face."
Karen Willmott, Brooklands manager, said: "It was so special to see first-hand how much it meant to Pamela and she hasn't stopped smiling since she got back."
The Nancy Oldfield Trust, which provides boating opportunities and accommodation for disadvantaged and disabled people, was established in the 1980s by Richard Kenyon and is named after his parents, Nancy and Oldfield.
It relies on donations to carry out its work.
