Two days of sailing activity are being held on the Clyde to celebrate the success of the Olympic Games in Rio.

The Royal Yachting Association Sail for Gold roadshow involves 200 pupils from local schools trying out rowing at Riverside Museum yesterday and today.

Scottish members of the British sailing team who are not in Brazil were alongside the pupils, offering analysis and commentary during the races.

They included Eilidh MacIntyre, daughter of Scots Olympic gold medallist Mike MacIntyre.

The event was held to share the excitement of the Games and to cheer on Luke Patience from Helensburgh and Charlotte Dobson from Glasgow who are both competing at Rio.

Luke, a silver medallist in 2012, praised the Sail for Gold event, ahead of flying out to the Olympics.

He said: "The support I have received over the years and everyone behind what it is we do in the sport of sailing is phenomenal.

"I never could have imagined that a wee lad from the West Coast of Scotland could be competing for his country and winning medals."

"Sailing is the best sport in the world in my opinion. It involves so many folk."

Luke said he wished the pupils well, whether they were simply enjoying rowing or were hoping to follow his example and aim for Olympic success.

James Allan, chief executive officer of RYA Scotland, said: "The Scottish boating community has always loved following the sailing activity at past Olympics and with two Scottish athletes on the British Sailing Team in Rio, RYA Scotland wanted to do something a bit special to show our support.

"These two Sail for Gold days are the biggest opportunities in the UK for everyone to come together and share the excitement of watching the medal races for Luke and Charlotte.

"We also wanted to inspire the next generation and show how accessible sailing really is and getting 200 young people out sailing on the Clyde where there is such a deep connection to our maritime heritage is a great way to do this.

"All the partners have put so much into these two days. It is a real community spirit and is really exciting."

The Sail for Gold roadshow brought together the sportscotland National Centre Cumbrae, the Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club, Clyde Muirsheil Regional Park and the Clyde Cruising Club dingy section which all supplied boats as well as volunteers to support the sailors in Rio.
