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.
Join us for friendly competition, good vibes, and a great way to start the weekend!
***Registration will open 1 week prior to the event***

Women on the Water (WOW)
Skipper Skills Clinic
An all-volunteer effort to increase access to sailing for all women and non-binary people.
WOW is growing, and we need more women and non-binary skippers to help ensure the success of this program!
This skipper skills clinic is for women/non-binary DSC members with their sights set on skipperhood! If you have learned the basics of tacking, jibiing, and wind awareness - come out to practice the more advanced skills and get ready for YOUR skipper check out!
Beginner or not interested in becoming a skipper? That's ok and our our general WOW sails will start again in April 2027!
If you are already checked out as a DSC skipper, please sign up to volunteer skipper. This will allow you to develop your skills while boosting other women. We cannot run this program without your support!
WOW will take place on the first and third Mondays during the season.
