The grounds have ample car parking space and all year dinghy and yacht parking. Access to the water is via two slipways and a jetty. A rescue boathouse is situated at the high tide level and makes easy work of deploying the club's six rescue craft. The starter's hut overlooks the race area and provides excellent visibility to the race officer for racing and rescue duties.

During the sailing season, dinghy racing takes place on Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Junior and adult training takes place on Tuesday evenings and Keelboat racing takes place on Friday evenings.  

In addition to regular club racing, DBSC hosts several major regattas each year.

The large clubhouse offers a lounge bar, changing rooms, and has recently undergone a major extension, doubling the size of  the main lounge. An attractive decking area has recently been added, overlooking the water. The clubhouse and bar is open 7pm-11pm, Monday-Thursday, 7pm-12 midnight Friday, 1.30pm -12 midnight Saturday (1.30pm opening starts on the 4th Feb, until then the bar will open at 7pm),  and 1pm-11pm Sunday.  During the sailing season the bar is open from 6.30pm on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Please note that the deck is not licensed and is a 'no-smoking' area.

Non-Member guests must be signed in by a Club member and guests are allowed to visit up to four times per year after which they would be expected to apply for membership.
