- The first step to becoming a member of CYCT is to fill out the Online Membership Form. Please make sure you have a sponsor who is a current CYCT member!
- Your membership application will be reviewed by CYCT’s Board of Trustees after which you will be contacted and informed of the Board’s decision.
- If accepted as a member, you will be asked to attend the next General Meeting. At that meeting you will be introduced to the membership, inducted as a member, and given your membership card and CYCT burgee. We will also ask you to stand for a photograph to be published in The Mainsheet, CYCT's monthly newsletter.
Types of Membership
There are two types of membership available to new members, Active and Crew.
-
Active Membership
Appropriate for individuals who own, or are part owners of, a sailboat and, using their boat, want to participate in racing and/or cruising with other CYCT members.
-
Associate Membership
Appropriate for former Active Members who no longer own a boat, or our Lido fleet owners. Associate Members receive all benefits that an Active Member does, but do not receive a CYCT Burgee and are not eligible for reciprocal moorage.
-
Crew Membership
Appropriate for members who do not own a sailboat but who are planning to crew on another member's boat. Members with crew memberships are encouraged to participate in all club functions; however, they are not voting members, and they do not receive a CYCT burgee.
