Covid has not dampened the enthusiasm of the volunteers running the Disabled Sailing Association Torbay.
The association has been busy throughout the period of Covid safety restrictions:
yachts Freedom and Free Spirit have been upgraded to meet the latest requirements
training of skippers, mates and crew has continued
on-shore courses have been run covering everything from engine maintenance to first aid to vhf radio procedures
RYA competent crew and day skipper on shore courses have been run
the all-important fund raising has continued.
Dave Musgrove and his wife Shirley represented the DSA and expressed gratitude for
the support of his Worshipful, The Mayor.
The event in itself enabled us to showcase the work we do and may encourage others to
donate, whether it be financially or with their time.
The event raised over £600. A great start for us to the many other fundraising events
planned for this year.
The play Laying the Ghost was specially put on for the Disabled Sailing Association and
proved to be great entertainment as well as raising £763 for the DSA.
Our thanks go to the Little Theatre Company.
Sailing has resumed for disabled individuals!
There are strict Covid safety rules still in place on our boats. The safety procedures are on the website and are also available on request.
