The Club
Denver Sailing Association (DSA) is Denver’s Yacht Club located at Cherry Creek Reservoir in Denver, Colorado, USA. Cherry Creek provides a great location for sailboat racing just minutes from downtown Denver, with convenient access from major highways I-25 and I-225.
The club has an extensive racing program from April through October including four complete series and annual regattas bringing some of the best talent in the state. The four series are Thawout, Spring, Summer, and Frostbite. The Thawout and Frostbite Series race on weekend afternoons while the Spring and Summer Series are on weekday evenings.
DSA has active one-design fleets including Santana 20s, J22s, Lasers, Melges 15s as well as PHRF and Portsmouth classes.
On the miniature side, DSA hosts a group of DragonFlite 95 radio controlled sailboats. This group meets up a few times throughout the season to race by the DSA clubhouse in the Cherry Creek Marina.
Our partner organization Community Sailing of Colorado (CSC) is home to the youth racing team as well as the instructional sailing programs.
We have memberships levels for boat owners looking to race, those who want to crew, social members, and junior sailors. For more information, visit our Membership page.
