While our Sunday sailing takes a break over winter. The club has a full winter calendar. Whether its building maintenance, fixing our dinghy fleet, winter sailing, AS sailing summits or learning new skills. DBYC has never been busier this time of year. We still have limited places for the First Aid Course and Radio Operators Course. Inquire via [email protected]
