Since 1974, DOSC has established itself in the UAE and beyond as a centre of sailing excellence. The realization of this goal was only possible due to the determination of our founders and members, past and present. Their sheer love for the sport has been at the heart of all they have achieved and what we continue to strive for.
Sailing is not for the fainthearted. It requires a significant commitment in terms of time, energy and sheer grit to get to a competent level and be able to compete. The passion and dedication exhibited by our members is what makes DOSC special, and we want to keep it that way.
This is why our application system is points based. This is not intended to discriminate against new and relatively inexperienced sailors, but it will test your appetite for becoming a part of the DOSC community!
| Criteria | Points |

| Valid UAE boat insurance policy | 1 |

All Full Members, excluding Members with more than 15 years of Full Membership, are required to accrue six (6) Membership Activity Points on an annual basis.
The aim of this initiative is to encourage the continued participation of our Members in Club wide activities. These points are therefore collected through a combination of sailing, training and volunteering activities at DOSC.
