NEXT RACE: SAT 14 JUNE 2021
Eleven skippers and crew took to the inner harbour last Sunday to take part in social race '10', run with just the one division.

DSC COMMODORE'S SAIL-PAST WRAP DBCYA members and Management Committee members enjoyed the day at Darwin Sailing Club's recent 'Commodore Sail Past', either taking part in the Egyptian themed sail or as a guest onboard the DSC Commodore's catamaran.
