Sunshine and support as Dale Sailing Open Day draws crowds to Neyland Marina
GLORIOUS sunshine, river cruises, and community spirit combined to make the 2025 Dale Sailing Open Day a resounding success at Brunel Quay on Saturday (May 10). Hundreds of visitors turned out to explore Dale Sailing Company's facilities, meet the team, and enjoy a packed day of maritime activities along the picturesque Neyland waterfront. Guests were treated to free river cruises on the Cleddau, tours aboard the Angle RNLI all-weather lifeboat, and hands-on safety demonstrations from HM Coastguard Dale, who provided crucial water safety advice throughout the day. The Milford Haven RNLI Fundraising Group were also in attendance, helping raise awareness of the lifesaving work carried out around the Pembrokeshire coast. There was plenty to see and do on dry land too, with special deals, raffle prizes, and a lively boat jumble attracting bargain-hunters and boating enthusiasts alike. The event also marked Dale Sailing's official launch as the regional dealer for Whaly Boats in South and West Wales, with the latest models on display. A spokesperson for Dale Sailing said: 'It was a real pleasure to welcome so many of you to Brunel Quay — from long-time friends to first-time visitors. Whether you came to see the Whaly Boats, enjoy the river, or just soak in the atmosphere, we're hugely grateful you chose to spend your Saturday with us.' The sunshine added to the festive mood, with families enjoying food from Get Loaded Pembs and mingling with suppliers from leading marine brands including Honda, Mercury and Suzuki. The company has announced that the prize draw winners from the day will be revealed next week via their Facebook page. 'We're proud to be part of such a passionate, friendly, and fun-loving boating community,' the Dale Sailing team added. 'Here's to a fantastic season ahead.'
