Club Regattas

Each year the club schedules three special regattas open only to club members. These regattas are as follows:

Frostbite Regatta

This is the club’s first sanctioned sailing event of the season. It is normally held in late February or early March. Because we are in the South, some years you need to wear shorts and other years you need your winter foulies, but everyone enjoys dusting off the cobwebs and getting the boats on the water.

McFadden Cup

Joe and Marianne McFadden were long time members and dedicated racers in DSC in the 70’s and on. Joe was a retired Navy pilot who then became the political reporter for the Montgomery papers. He raced a number of boats, prime being the Flying Scot, with Marianne as crew. This trophy was sponsored by the McFadden family in memory of their participation in the DSC racing program. The trophy for the winner is presented by the Commodore at the next Commodore’s Banquet.

Nora Munger Trophy

Gene and Nora Munger were members of the club way back when – in the 1960’s – and in honor of his wife and her support of his racing endeavors Gene donated a trophy in her name to the winner of the Labor Day weekend regatta. Like the McFadden Cup, the trophy for the winner is presented by the Commodore at the next Commodore’s Banquet.
