Welcome to Double Bay Sailing Club (DBSC). We are located at the end of Bay St in Double Bay, next door to the ferry wharf and the 18 Footers Club. DBSC has been racing dinghies in various classes since the club was formed in the late 1950s by local residents.
Come and join us at Double Bay Sailing Club on Sydney harbour to start sailing or improve your sailing skills. We are a small, but very friendly and committed amateur sailing club. We sail from a boatshed on the water at Double Bay on Saturdays between August and April, and on Wednesday evenings during summer. There is even occasional sailing in the winter months, May to July. The attached map of Sydney Harbour is marked with the approximate racing area.
DBSC welcomes all sailors of any age, including youth sailors. DBSC provides several lasers for hire to prospective members and to members who don't yet have their own boat. We are unable to hire boats for general recreation.
DBSC will soon be expanding our learn to sail and intermediate sailing programs with the establishment of the DBSC Sailing School in the Spring of 2010. This will involve sail tuition for all ages and skill levels using our fleets of pacers, optimists and lasers.
Laser sailors who aren't members are welcome to join our races on the water by registering with the start boat before the first gun. After racing with us three times, non-members are encouraged to join the club join the club if they wish to continue racing with us and enjoying rights on the race course.
Vale Frank Bethwaite DFC OAM - DBSC condolences on the passing of your father.
DBSC would like to pass on its condolences to Mark, and his family, on the death of his father, Frank Bethwaite. Mr Bethwaite was an aviator, scientist, designer, author and exceptional contributor to the sport of sailing. His personal legacy of a fine family who have contributed so much to public life is the greatest testament to a legend of Australian sailing. All his achievements would have filled several normal lifetimes!
There will be a Celebration of Frank Bethwaite's life at Northbridge Sailing Club 4pm this Sunday and all are welcome to attend.
