A huge thank you to everyone who came down and volunteered their time to help with the boat cleaning today! ⛵️🧽💙

It’s not the most glamorous job, but it makes such a difference having plenty of hands on deck, and we really appreciate you giving up your Sunday to help get the boats looking their best.

We simply couldn’t do what we do without our brilliant volunteers — thank you! 💙⚓️

What a brilliant couple of days! ⛵️💙

That’s the first of two RYA Start Yachting courses, with all four of our candidates successfully finishing the course! 🎉

There were lots of new skills learnt, plenty of time on the helm, lots of laughs and, most importantly, four very happy sailors at the end of it. 😊⛵️

A huge thank you to Torbay on the Move for making these courses possible and giving our members the opportunity to get out on the water, have a go and build their confidence and sailing skills.

And a big well done to our fabulous four — you absolutely smashed it! 💙

Now we’re looking forward to welcoming the next group aboard in September! ⛵️

🐬 Just another day on the water with the DSA… ⛵️💙

Some absolutely fantastic footage captured by one of our skippers, Ray, during a recent day sail, when a pod of dolphins decided to come along for the ride! 🐬

There are some moments on the water that you just never get tired of — and having dolphins playing alongside the boat is definitely one of them.

This is what sailing is all about: getting out on the water, sharing incredible experiences and never quite knowing who might turn up to join you! 💙⛵️

Huge thanks to our skipper for capturing this brilliant footage.
