Cherry Creek State Park is helping the Cherry Creek Marina community by applying for funding to renovate the aging sea wall and docks. This process will take time as all of the various Colorado State Parks have important projects that seek funding and only a certain number are fulfilled a year, but we look forward to our projects eventually becoming funded and completed.

Take note of a new check-in process covered under item 14.1. During check-in "each boat shall sail by the RC Boat while RC is flying the Code Flag L, hail her boat type, sail number, and ***scored DSA member name*** and be acknowledged by RC with a return hail of her sail number." Why the new rule? This will allow those using rental/loaner sailboats to be scored properly. The same boat may be used by multiple members throughout a season, so we will be attributing scores to individual scored DSA member names instead of the boat's sail number.

To help make launching boats easier, beach launch access will be expanded by the end of April. Below is a satellite image of the marina beach next to the dry storage lot. You can see shadows on the beach where the current pylons and chains fence off the beach launching area. The pylons will be moved back to roughly the red line and those interested in some mechanical assistance may park a car at the red rectangle and use a winch on their dollies.
Join us TOMORROW 10am-2pm at the DSA club house to help set up for the sailing season. Some of what we'll be working on are...![]()
- Painting the club house![]()
- Sanding the wooden decks and stairs![]()
