Darwin College Boat Club (DCBC) was founded in 1969 by its current President, Dr Chester White. Since then, DCBC has become a successful graduate boat club in Cambridge.[1] Darwin M1 got blades in Lent Bumps 2005 and Darwin W2 got blades in May Bumps 2006. Darwin College currently has 5 boats (3 men's and 2 women's) in May Bumps. The club mainly focuses on the training of cox, rower and coach and has extensive novice training programs. It shares a boat house with Pembroke.
