The 2024 Colorado sailing season is upon us! If you are interested in joining the racing community on Cherry Creek Reservoir; this event is a great way to get involved and make some new connections.
We will be at Yak and Yeti Restaurant for an ALL YOU CAN EAT Indian and Nepalese buffet from 6-9pm on Wednesday April 3rd. (Each person is expected to pay for their own food and beverages)
There will be a private room filled with your fellow sailors. DSA will be welcoming new members and connecting our existing members with new crew.
Need a boat to buy or charter for the season? Denver Sailing Association can help you make those connections, too!
The Denver Sailing Association (DSA) will conduct up to four (4) Series of Races in 2024 as the Organizing Authority (OA). These Race Series will be held on Cherry Creek Reservoir, Cherry Creek State Park, Aurora, CO.
First Warning signal at 1300 hours. No race warning will be signaled after 1600.

Crew Members
Crew members looking for a boat to sail with should meet by the DSA clubhouse 1.5 hours before the First Warning Signal (start of races). Meet up times are listed above for easy reference.
Race Committee Requirements
Each DSA Member being scored must register and serve on Race Committee two (2) days/evenings during any of the Series races of the season or during any scheduled DSA Regattas.
All races sailed prior to scheduling or meeting RC duty commitment will be recorded as NORC. Up to two (2) race day scores, four (4) races maximum, will be reinstated following completion of scheduling RC duties commitment. Failure to meet their RC duties on their schedule date will result in removal of all prior scores for that series.
