Trustses Report for the Calendar Year 2024
2024 was the eigth year since the RDYST was founded with the principal objective to provide
opportunities for less privileged local school children to enjoy water-based activities on the River
Dart. Providing new, and life enhancing, experiences on the ￿ter involves Gonsiderable
resources, induding all the necessary health and safety training, experienced instructors, RYA
support and, of course, fully maintained sailing boats and associated equipment. So. it is pleasing
to report thal the Summer of 2024 was a considerable success on many fronts with over 350 young
girls and boys experiencing the joys and excitement of the beautiful River Dart, often for the firsl
time.
The core activity was. once again, the annual Schools I1￿8k8 programme held over three weèks
in July, following four'tasterf Tuesdays in June. Groups of up to 12 Year 6 children were introduced
lo sailing in the Trust's Quest dinghies, taught by our team of young instructors under the RYA
Youth Sailing scheme. Around 220 children from six local schools enjoyed their initial sailing
experience. The youngsters were encouraged lo take the helm and sail the boats themselves
under dose supeNision. The RDYC safety support boats were in dose proximity to help as
required.
15 young adults from Dartmouth Academy Secondary spent a challenging week away from home
on the sail training yacht 'Prolific', departing from Poole to Brixham via Weymouth. The condition3
were quite rough at times and according to their teachers this was not only a great exercAse in
team building but also a positive life changing eventl

In 2024 saw the RDYST continue the exciting new programme called COTS, Career Opportunities
Through Sailing. This provided opportunities forfour local children, tho would otherwise be unable
to do so, to undertake the RYA sailing courses vthich they will complete over a number of years,
opening the way to use these skills as a summer job or for further training for a variety of marine
industry careers.
In September we rounded off the season V•ith 64 Year 7 Dartmouth Academy pupils enjoying a half
day's paddle boarding instnjction and a similar number of Year 7s enjoying a half day leaming how
to kayak. Both events were a huge success and are planned to be repealed this year.
Something new for 2024, supported by the Devon Environmental Foundation, was a greater
environmental awareness we brought to all of our sessions. This was in conjunctFon with the RYA
'Green Blue Pledge, and our intention was to raise awareness and educate the young Dart River
boat users in the best practice that can be adopted to protect our marine and inland waters to
safeguard the wildlife and habitst. The various aGtivities included specific environmental
wort(sheets. engagement by the environmental Group 'Friends of the Dart, beach cleans and the
a￿￿rd 'Environmental Custodian of the Yearf. This successful activity, which was embraced by all
participants will be built on during 2025.
As well as the many volunteers and sailing instructors involved. the RDYST receives invaluable
support from the Royal Dart Yacht Club and the use of the Club's facilities both ashore and afloat.
These are essential towards providing the many exciting experiences for local less advantaged
school children.
The Trust would like to thank the many volunteers, sailing instructors and Trustees for the time and
effort they put in to achieve tha great results as describéd above.
The Trust is also indebted to the many generous donations from individuals, family Charitable
Trusts, Rockfish restauranls, Devon Environmental Foundation, Dartmouth United Charities and
other local businesses, without whose support we could not operate..
In condusion. it is pleasing to report that 2024 proved to be another very successful year for the
Trust over 350 school children participating, many of ￿Orn had never previousty had the
opportunity to participate in vraler sports on our lovely river.
Finally, based on our previous successes. we are developing new exciting initiatives for 2025
Something new for 2025 and beyond.
