Our Facilities
When DBMS was founded, the 2.5 acre parcel was the only remaining waterfront property in Duxbury available for broad access to the Bay. Since then there has been substantial progress towards providing the facilities needed to achieve the school’s vision. Thanks to the generosity of the Ellison Foundation and many others, the DBMS campus was acquired and named in honor of William P. Ellison.
The school has purchased 20 floats, three launches, a fleet of over 100 sailboats and 20 instructor boats. In 2000, DBMS replaced its aging and dilapidated bulkheads and constructed a new boat basin and launching ramp along the southerly edge of the campus. The school has also acquired the properties on either side of the access road from Washington Street. In July 2003, the campus was enhanced by the demolition of two old structures and completion of a new residential building, and construction of a state of the art storm water management system.
New Facility
DBMS has embarked on a 5 million dollar capital campaign in 2006 to complete our master plan. In addition to securing the DBMS Fund for the Future, a new facility will be built on the DBMS campus to house accessible classrooms, administrative offices, work out area for rowers, changing areas, and storage facilities.
