Friday Night Fun Race

Sail Into the Weekend — No Registration Needed!

Kick off your weekend with the Friday Night Fun Race, a relaxed, social sail open to all DSC members! This pickup-style distance race starts at 6:00 PM off the DSC docks (dock call 5:30 PM) and heads toward the first red buoy in the Middle Branch.

Post on Circle in advance or come early to meet other members and find a spot. "Regulars" often save crew space for new sailors. Volunteers help organize teams and assign boats at the dock.

No racing experience? No problem! It’s a fun, low-pressure intro to racing. Some sailing knowledge helps, but enthusiasm is all you need.

Important Notes

EVERYONE (non-members included) must complete a liability waiver before entering the docks.
Skippers must reserve boats in advance and assume full liability per the DSC Skipper Statement of Responsibility.
This is a volunteer-run event; DSC staff do not manage crews or boats.

Join us for friendly competition, good vibes, and a great way to start the weekend!
