Interested in Racing? DCSS students who are learning to race or advancing their racing skills may be invited to participate in Wednesday evening races; however, regular weekend racing requires membership in Deep Creek Yacht Racing Association (DCYRA). DCYRA has made some provisions for guest racers during holiday weekends, and students are encouraged to learn more about that by talking to their DCSS instructor. Required Forms for Adults
