Welcome to the DCA Cruise Reports Archive
This archive contains 1654 cruise reports extracted from the Dinghy Cruising Association Bulletins, spanning 1955-2005.
The DCA was founded in 1955 to bring together enthusiasts of cruising in small open boats — dinghies, dayboats, and other craft small enough to trailer. These reports chronicle adventures on waters around the British Isles and beyond, from gentle river cruises to challenging coastal passages.
