Our recent ‘Start Yachting’ course last weekend was funded by the local Council’s “Torbay on the Move” programme, designed to promote activities of all kinds to make a difference to the lives of selected  participants. four candidates were chosen  in line with the programme’s objectives.

The course was on our newest yacht, DSA Free Spirit 2, , and yook place over a two-day period with an  overnight on the boat  in Brixham Harbour. All four completed the course with flying colours  You can see them all in the picture above holding their official RYA Start Yachting certificates looking very pleased with themselves.

Feedback was very positive from all who took part-

“I was unsure how I would cope, but Guy lead the team in his usual comfortable way which made the learning much easier to take onboard. The content was very interesting and the way it was presented was explained well. The course exceeded my expectations, and I am so glad that I was able to take part.”

“I cannot thank you enough for a wonderful experience we had.😀I’m still buzzing from all the lovely memories we made with everyone on board”.

“It didn’t matter that I forgot to pack my alarm clock as we were serenaded by seals at 6:00 in the morning!”.

The next course is timetabled for  12/13 September, if you are interested then please email principal@dsadevon.gov.uk for more details.
