What a weekend at DYC! We had the pleasure of hosting a training weekend made up of Toppers on this occasion with talented youth sailors including Welsh squad members travelling from across Wales to experience the magic of Aberdyfi ☀️

The training was expertly delivered by National Coaches & Jonny Everett while being hosted and supported by DYC. A huge thank you to everyone for delivering an inspiring weekend and to all the sailors for bringing the energy as always ✨

Huge congratulations to our very own Kate and Dan Stevens, who were hailed as ‘Volunteers of the Year’ at the recent Gwynedd Sports Awards, hosted by Byw’n lach at Galeri Caernarfon.

The award recognises the enormous effort and energy they have both put into the ‘Summer of Sailing’ scheme, which is designed to provide a pathway for young children aged 9-13 years old to progress from being complete beginners who may never have stepped into a boat before, through to taking part in club and national racing events and even become sailing instructors and assistant instructors if they want to.

As an added bonus, the ‘Summer of Sailing’ initiative was also recognised during the award ceremony by being nominated as runner-up in the 'Sporting Event of the Year’ category.

‘Summer of Sailing’ will run again in 2026 and will start in the week prior to the schools' summer holidays. If you’re keen to get involved and help out, then get in touch with Dan or Kate who would love to hear from you.
