Frequently Asked Questions

WHY MEMBERSHIP?

While members of the general public are welcome to the club on a casual basis, we require those who attend the club regularly to become financial members, for safety and insurance reasons for those sailing and to meet the legal requirements of trading licence. Membership is what drives our Club and is the reason we are able to provide the facilities, events, training and social programs that we do. By joining the RYCT you will not only enjoy the benefits but support the wider Club community into the future.

HOW DO I JOIN AS A MEMBER?

First you need to fill out an application form, available at the Club reception or for download online. You will need a proposer and seconder to sign your application. If you do not know anyone at our club, references from any other clubs will be taken into consideration when joining or talk to our friendly staff for further assistance. All membership applications are reviewed by the Board at their monthly meetings. This is a ballot process and takes two months to be approved. Once approved you will receive a letter confirming your membership and will be invoiced the applicable fees.

WHAT IS THE PERIOD OF MEMBERSHIP?
