How do I become a Yachting NSW Member?

Membership of Yachting Australia is only possible via your membership of an affiliated sailing club and is usually activated as part of the annual club subscription process. By providing your details to your Yacht Club (in accordance with the membership criteria of your respective Sailing Club) you will receive a membership card (Yachting Australia Silver Card) the following month.

Yachting Australia Membership expires each year on the 30th September. To re-new your membership please contact your sailing club

As a silver cardholder you will have access to a range of benefits including Personal Accident Insurance cover. You may also choose to obtain other insurances at an additional cost. As a cardholder, you not only receive a number of valuable benefits but you are assisting in maintaining the sport of sailing through quality management and promotion.

Yachting NSW Crew Club

Yachting NSW also has a membership category called Crew Club which enables sailors who are not members of an affiliated sailing club to be members of Yachting NSW thus allowing them to compete under the RRS 46 and to enjoy some of the benefits of individual membership.
