The majority of DCYC members participate in sailboat racing sponsored by the Deep Creek Yacht Racing Association (DCYRA).

The DCYRA racing fleets consist of Flying Scot and Laser sailboats. Races are conducted on Saturdays and Sundays from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends. The season is divided into a June Series and a July-August Series of races. Additional regattas and race events are scattered throughout the summer months. There is a small membership fee for participation in the DCYRA.
