Three categories, annual, and every fee published here to everyone. Sailing and Social members save 10% on food and drinks, for the whole table when the member pays.

Why members pay less at the bar

The restaurant and the bar are the main support of the sailing club, and members carry the club, so Sailing and Social members save 10% on food and drinks, for the entire table when the member pays. Deck Membership is free and carries no discount. The gap between the public price and the member price is published on every price the club shows: it is the argument for joining, not a secret.

If you sail, Sailing Membership is the way in, and Australian Sailing membership comes with it. If you live nearby, Deck Membership is free and takes a minute.
