In 1963 the Darwin Sailing Club was formed by a group of dedicated volunteer sailors. From these humble beginnings, the DSC has grown and grown to become one of the busiest, 7 days per week community sporting and hospitality operations in the Northern Territory. Today the DSC has more than 1000 members and welcomes more than 50,000 visitors each year through its doors. Over time the Club’s growth has demanded the Club employ skilled staff to assist in looking after day to day operations. While a number of committed and passionate volunteers continue to oversee the management of the operation, today most of the Club’s services are delivered by paid staff. In a practical sense, volunteer Board, Committee Members and Officers work together with the Club’s paid staff to allow members, their guests and visitors to enjoy the activity of Sailing and the Club’s famous hospitality.
