News And Events
We are up and ready for the rest of the season. Annie has been working hard on the boats and maintenance, as you can see from the photo!!!! We have made a few minor changes to the centre and have extended our Topper fleet for 2008.
March 15th, was a brilliant Trade Day despite the weather. Some hardy people turned up and tried their hands at fishing (courtesy of Broadside Charter) hobie sailing and a trip on the Dale Sea Safari. The Griffin Inn provided a superb lunch. Watch out for the next Trade Day in April.
Hello All - I hope you like the new website?
It was a busy year again last year. The season started with lots of sunshine, then the winter weather kicked in again!! Then we had some more sunshine later on in the season. Typical British weather!!
We had some lovely instructors again in 2007. Michael from South Africa, Sam from Scotland and the fantastic local instructors Frizz, Michael, Emma, Laura, Kate, Angharad and Kate.
Gareth took over the surfing school in Newgale and was ably assisted by Jonathon. Look out for our new surf leaflet.
Wai, Shaun, Sam and Jonathon taught windsurfing for the summer.
Annie and Derek were back for more punishment and Andy and Kate drove the Sea Safari boat.
All instructors will be back for the 2008 season. Annie will be retuning from her hibernation in Spain for the busy Easter period. We will be open from the beginning of March preparing for what we hope will be another successful year.
Look out for some events in 2008.
Also check out the new Richmond House and Dale Sailing website's!

Sea Sunday is on 15th June this year. We are hoping to offer 'taster' sessions during the day and then the Bishop of St David's will give a service to round off the weekend.
12- 21st September - Southampton Boat Show
Last year's Show saw over 127,000 visitors discover exciting new features, explore the thousand plus boats on display and enjoy everything about boating in one giant show!
9 - 18th January - London Boat Show
Puffins
If you want to coincide your trip to Dale with a trip to Skomer, don't forget the puffins leave at the end of July, beginning of August. There is still lots to see in August and September, but the puffins are un-missable.
Dale Boathouse Cafe
There are new people in the cafe for 2008. Tony and Kath and their team have run the cafe before so I am sure it will be a hive of activity and we look forward to sampling what they have to offer.
