Denver Sailing Association has been home to Denver metro’s competitive sailing community for over 75 years. The club started in 1946 at Sloan’s Lake and later moved to Cherry Creek Reservoir in 1982, where it still resides today. Cherry Creek State Park provides a beautiful venue for the club’s racing and social activities with open and forested natural surroundings, sandy beaches, and mountain views. Its convenient location right at the corner of I-25 and I-225 allows for easy highway access to the club, just minutes from downtown Denver.

DSA hosts an extensive racing program from April through October including 4 complete series races and 2 annual regattas bringing some of the best talent in the state. Off the race course, the club also hosts social events where members can mix, mingle, and have a good time year round as well as educational seminars to grow the sport.

Your support will help DSA continue to be a home for Denver’s sailors and host its many races, regattas, and social events.
