How do I become a member of BSC

Complete the application form and decide which level of membership you would like.  Give the signed forms to the NCYC Administration Office or bar staff.

Your application will be reviewed by the Board and listed on the Club Notice Board for 14 days.  If there are no valid objections, the Board will approve your application, you will be notified, and the membership fee will be payable. The process can take up to 6 weeks.

What category of membership is right for me?

NCYC’s membership categories are:

  • Introductory Membership
  • Junior Membership
  • Social Membership
  • Youth Crew Membership
  • Crew Membership
  • General Membership
  • Senior Membership

Introductory Membership

This membership allows guests to join and experience the club to see what it offers at an affordable price.  This membership is for two months, after this period, we would encourage you to upgrade to a social membership.

Junior Membership

To be a Junior Member, you must be aged between 5 and 17 years, intend to take part in yachting activities organised by the Club and of a General Member’s immediate family.

Social Membership

This membership is for those people who wish to enjoy using NCYC’s licensed club facilities. You are required to be a member if you live within 5km radius of NCYC and wish to use the club without being in the company of a member.

If you live outside a 5km radius of NCYC, you are not required to be a member, but we suggest you become a member if you use the Club regularly.

 Youth Crew Membership

Youth Crew Membership is for those who are aged between 18-25 years and intend to sail at NCYC.  Youth Crew Membersip provides the necessary insurance coverage to sail and enter events. 

Crew Membership

Crew Membership or General Membership is required if you wish to regularly sail at NCYC, this includes more than three times in a season, on any NCYC vessel or in a club event.  Crew membership provides the necessary insurance coverage to sail and enter events.

Social and Crew Members often convert to General Membership when you decide that you would like to have a closer and longer-term affiliation with NCYC.

General Membership

This is the most important category of membership and provides the greatest range of privileges as shown in the NCYC membership benefits table.

Senior Membership

Senior Membership is for those existing general members who are more than 65 years and have held a general membership for a continuous 15 years or more.
