Most of you know Cameron and Cooper Robinson, 'the Robinson boys', who grew up racing with us at Cherry Creek. The boys and 3 other Colorado sailors have qualified for the 2024 J24 World Championship Regatta in Seattle, Washington. The J24 Class Youth Team (all sailors under 24 years of age) are seeking help from their local community to fund their campaign - housing, food, event registration fees, membership dues, repairs, and transportation of 5 sailors plus a boat between Colorado and Washington. If you are able and would like to support these great DSA sailors, you can send a donate via their gofundme here: gofund.me/97c11eb2"We look forward to representing the US, our local sailing clubs, and encouraging a higher level of competition for other youth sailors! Thank you for your support!" - Cameron RobinsonGroup Photo: 2023 J/24 District 18 Championship Regatta Awards Ceremony
Members with dinghies - total 17ft and under (including any overhanging parts, i.e. mast) & on a dolly - can now book discounted parking spots at Cherry Creek Marina’s dry storage upper berm (outlined in red below). The discounted price for Lasers will be $399 for the season instead of the normal $480. Exact price will depend on the boat length. Reach out to Tim, the Marina Manager, to book.
No races today due to the cold and snowy conditions, but we got a lovely new mailbox installed on the clubhouse for scoresheets and protests.

Food trucks are coming to Cherry Creek this Summer!
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.
Our 2024 Race Committee Schedule is now LIVE on our website at www.denversailing.org/race-committee/Remember, “Each DSA Member being scored must register and serve on RC two (2) days/evenings during any of the Series races of the season or during any scheduled DSA Regattas.
