Founded in 1958, Dale Yacht Club has a long tradition in both dinghy and cruiser sailing. Situated at the western end of the Milford Haven waterway, we have the benefit of a large, sheltered bay which provides an excellent, safe dinghy sailing area. Dinghy racing takes place every Thursday and Sunday during the main season with the Sunday series continuing until late autumn. There is an active junior sailing section with regular training sessions through the summer. Dale Yacht Club hosts a number of regattas during the year - both its own events and as host for other fleets.
Dale Slipway
At the request of the National Park Authority and the Community of Dale, the Yacht Club has taken back the lease of the Dale Slipway.This means that the Yacht Club in consultation with the local community can ensure the slipway is maintained and managed in the most beneficial and effective way for the benefit of all users.The club has to give full consideration to the maintenance, insurance and management of this facility. It has already had to increase its insurance cover to include the slipway.There are currently no public funds to help with this task so the club may have to give consideration to how the costs will be met in the future. As part of the management of the facility we must consider the safe use of the slipway by all users. With this in mind, there will be a few days in the year when events are taking place, when we will need to restrict slipway access. Any restriction will be posted on the clubs web site and we will be happy to post the information on other web sites if requested.
Proposed Slipway Restrictions 2010.( No or Limited Vehicle Access)
