The club says its training helps adults and children build skills, try different boats, and includes support for novices to join club racing. Beginner-friendly training boats are listed, including SailQubes for small beginners and larger boats used for teaching adult beginners.

DBSC states it is an RYA recognised teaching centre and offers dinghy sailing courses at all levels, equivalent junior stages, powerboat Levels 1 and 2, Safety Boat, and Tuesday evening training run by RYA qualified instructors and assistants.
Taster· Unclear
The official site mentions occasional Open Day use in the club-boat rules, but I did not find a current official taster session, try-sailing offer, or upcoming open-day availability.

Membership prices are published: Adult £53, Junior £53, Social £55 including £30 bar credit, and Outport £28. Storage is listed as £210 per season and kayak/canoe fee as £50. The page also notes additional fees for boat storage and some training.

Membership

Official site states DBSC is an RYA Affiliated Club and Registered Training Centre, with adult and junior courses, Tuesday training and a club dinghy fleet.

Boat hire
Club dinghies are primarily for training but can be used by members if booked through the booking system, subject to terms including qualifications, organised sessions for juniors, adequate rescue cover, and weather limits. I found evidence for member club-boat use, not public boat hire.
