How to become a member?

Membership is by the application. You have to fill the membership nomination form which is then submitted. After careful consideration and payment of application fees, you too can become a member. A member is obligated to pay certain fees. Membership is renewable annually.

You can renew your membership either online or physically. The process is detailed and straightforward, and all you have to state are details about your membership and pay fees to renew your membership.

Reciprocal Membership

We also offer reciprocal membership with some boating clubs in Sydney. Reciprocal membership means that our members can go to such clubs and enjoy all the privileges of membership, and the same applies to the members of those clubs. This mutual exchange of privileges further means our members stand to benefit in multiple ways by just holding our membership without having to pay extra.

Membership vs. Ownership

Are you a sailing enthusiast? You are probably thinking about whether you should buy a boat or join a boating club. Buying a boat is definitely a great thing, and it feels good knowing you own what you’re sailing. Bur when it comes to boats, becoming a club member might be a better choice. Club membership will give access to boats on hire, but that means you will not be spending money on maintaining the boat, storing it, cleaning it, and all you have to do to make sure your boat is in good shape. It will also save you time.
