We have enjoyed a summer of celebration with all the anniversary events which have taken place. To now have been given this award is truly the icing on the cake.” sailing Today editor sam Fortescue said: “It is fitting that readers should have voted it Yacht Club of the year 2016.

Welcome to our exhibition on the proposed regeneration of Noss on Dart.
year and is one of the
As many of you are aware, South Hams District Council resolved to grant permission for the regeneration of the site in 2010. In 2013 there was a second proposal to scale down the masterplan but the planning application was never submitted and sadly the site, including the marina, was placed into administration.
Late in March 2016, Premier Marinas acquired Noss on Dart from the Administrators and we are now preparing our plans to regenerate Noss
on Dart to ensure it has a future as part of the local community. The regeneration will include a prestigious marina, full service boatyard, luxury hotel and associated leisure facilities and enabling residential development.
You can find out more about our emerging plans on these boards and members of our project team are on hand to answer any questions you may have.
At this stage our plans are still being refined and we very much welcome your views today so that we can take them into consideration before we submit an application later this year.
