Are you the owner of Dale Yacht Club?
Thomas, the organiser, wanted to send a friendly reminder to the sports community about the upcoming season at Dale Yacht Club. The club's been part of the Dale community for over sixty years, since its founding in 1958. Known for its strong tradition in both dinghy and cruiser sailing, it’s a favourite spot for water enthusiasts of all ages.
Thomas made sure everyone knew that Dale Yacht Club is all about managing the water activities in Dale Bay, not just for members but for the entire local community and visitors too. The aim is simple: keeping sailing, boating, and mooring safe and fun.
One of the most exciting parts of the club? The weekly dinghy racing events on Thursdays and Sundays. These run throughout the main sailing season and right into late autumn for the Sunday series. It’s a great chance for members to compete and sharpen their skills, and the races are quite the spectacle for everyone watching.
For those looking for a mooring spot, Dale offers a sheltered nook to anchor your boat safely. The club runs the Voluntary Controlled Area of private moorings in Dale Bay, ensuring secure and well-maintained facilities for all boaters.
Then there's the clubhouse, also known as Coco's Brasserie. Thomas knows how much everyone enjoys unwinding here after a day on the water. With stunning views of Dale Bay, great food, and drinks, it's the perfect place for a bit of socialising.
The club also runs several regattas and sailing events throughout the year. These events are a testament to its dedication to promoting and supporting the sailing community. It's a brilliant opportunity for members to show off their skills and compete against other fleets.
Thomas didn't forget to mention the practical bits. Members can lease spaces for dinghies along the seafront grass verge and spaces for tenders in a dedicated area. There’s even limited short-term storage available during peak season from June to August.
For the young sailing enthusiasts, there are junior sailing training sessions for kids aged 5-18, running weekly during late spring and summer. It’s an excellent chance for youngsters to learn and fall in love with sailing.
Whether you're a seasoned sailor or just curious about it, Thomas and the team at Dale Yacht Club are keen to welcome you. If you're interested in sailing or boating, don't hesitate to get in touch and discover all the exciting opportunities on offer.
