It would be up to the organizing authority to define what qualifies as DNC
versus DNS within their sailing instructions if they wish other than the
standard. The standard rules are DNC is given to a boat who fails to come to
the starting area, and DNS is given to a boat who comes to the starting area
but fails to start. How you determine this needs to be established by the
race committee and as long as you clearly establish what constitutes a DNC
versus DNS you should have no problems.
If someone comes down to the club but decides not to race and stays in the
parking lot because it is too windy for them, do they get a DNC or DNS. What
if they rig and launch the boat but never leave the dock? What if they leave
the dock and capsize before they get to the starting area? etc......

What about a day with more than 1 race, when a boat completes a race but
retires from subsequent races. If they do so before the next warning signal,
would they be DNC or DNS?

That is the definition that I have always used. I have seen variations such
as "you must check in at the committee boat to the starting area", but these
do not affect you. I would assume that DNC would not qualify as a race, but
just about everything else would, DNS,DNF, DND, DSQ, RAF, OCS, etc.
