There is a joining fee of £25 for new members and members renewing after December 1st will receive a late payment surcharge of £25.
All online membership applications will be subject to confirmation by the General Committee.

Young Person’s Memberships
For Child Protection purposes, children aged under 12 must join with a parent or guardian. We also do not recommend that children new to sailing become a member without at least one parent/guardian joining the club, although Young Persons membership is available for competent sailors aged 12 and over. Parents/guardians remain responsible for the safety and actions of their children at all times.
Sailing is a great activity for the whole family, and it’s never too late to learn. We would always recommend an Individual or Family membership (which includes children under 18) to allow all members of the family to get out on the water. However, for a child learning to sail, with parents/guardians who do not want to sail, the cheapest option is Social Individual or Social Family Membership which allows one or both parents full access and use of the club’s non-sailing facilities whilst supporting their child(ren) learning to sail.
